Nice! I just needed this in my ballista's PR!

following this SO answer, what do you think of

trait Literal {
fn lit(&self) -> ScalarValue;
}
impl Literal for i32 {
fn lit(&self) -> ScalarValue {
ScalarValue::Int(self.clone())
}
}
impl Literal for bool {
fn lit(&self) -> ScalarValue {
ScalarValue::Boolean(self.clone())
}
}
fn lit<T: Literal>(n: T) -> ScalarValue {
n.lit()
}
# usage:
# lit(2);
# lit(true);

this way, the user does not have to import nor remember the value's type; they can just call lit. It seems to be a common pattern in rust.

@jorgecarleitao Oh, that is much nicer. Do you want to PR that and I'll close this one?

[jorgecarleitao]

I can take it.
