Generally, it should be very cheap to introduce expression static
analysis phase by adding static analysis state to struct Expr.
Yes, it's a blasphemy from separation of concerns point of view
but it seems to be a lesser evil than invoking partial static
analysis here and there during code generation.

What i mean is that instead of changing signature of
sql_expr_coll() one should be able to do:

/**
  * Fills expr->coll for every node in the expression tree or
  * returns an appropriate error if there is a type error.
  */
int
sql_expr_static_analysis(struct Expr *expr);
