ReturnableType<?> resolveFunctionReturnType(ReturnableType<?> impliedType,
                                            List<? extends SqmTypedNode<?>> arguments,
                                            TypeConfiguration typeConfiguration)
```
    Resolve the return type for a function given its context-implied type and the arguments to this call.
    The context-implied type is the type implied by where the function occurs in the query. E.g., for an equality predicate (`something = some_function`) the implied type of the return from `some_function` would be defined by the type of `some_function`.
    
    Returns:
    
    The resolved type.
