/// Represents a SELECT expression in a SQL query.
///
/// `SelectExpr` supports three types of expressions commonly found in the SELECT clause:
///
/// * Wildcard (`*`) - Selects all columns
/// * Qualified wildcard (`table.*`) - Selects all columns from a specific table
/// * Regular expression - Any other expression like columns, functions, literals etc.
///
/// This enum is typically used when you need to handle wildcards. After expanding `*` in the query,
/// you can use `Expr` for all other expressions.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use datafusion_expr::col;
/// use datafusion_expr::expr::WildcardOptions;
/// use datafusion_expr::select_expr::SelectExpr;
///
/// // SELECT *
/// let wildcard = SelectExpr::Wildcard(WildcardOptions::default());
///
/// // SELECT mytable.*
/// let qualified = SelectExpr::QualifiedWildcard(
///     "mytable".into(),
///     WildcardOptions::default()
/// );
///
/// // SELECT col1
/// let expr = SelectExpr::Expression(col("col1").into());
/// ```
