> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adam Kramer
>
> There are a lot of UDFs which would show major performance differences if one
> assumes that some of its arguments are constant.
> Consider, for example, any UDF that takes a regular expression as input: This
> can be complied once (fast) if it's a constant, or once per row (wicked slow)
> if it's not a constant.
> Or, consider any UDF that reads from a file and/or takes a filename as input;
> it would have to re-read the whole file if the filename changes.
