    /// # Background
    ///
    /// Inspired by the [ClickHouse Paper], a "preimage rewrite" transforms a
    /// predicate containing a function call into a predicate containing an
    /// equivalent set of input literal (constant) values. The resulting
    /// predicate can often be further optimized by other rewrites (see
    /// Examples).
    ///
    /// From the paper:
    ///
    /// > some functions can compute the preimage of a given function result.
    /// > This is used to replace comparisons of constants with function calls
    /// > on the key columns by comparing the key column value with the preimage.
    /// > For example, `toYear(k) = 2024` can be replaced by
    /// > `k >= 2024-01-01 && k < 2025-01-01`
    ///
    /// For example, given an expression like
    /// ```sql
    /// date_part('YEAR', k) = 2024
    /// ```
    ///
    /// The interval `[2024-01-01, 2025-12-31`]` contains all possible input
    /// values (preimage values) for which the function `date_part(YEAR, k)`
    /// produces the output value `2024` (image value). Returning the interval
    /// (note upper bound adjusted up) `[2024-01-01, 2025-01-01]` the expression
    /// can be rewritten to
    ///
    /// ```sql
    /// k >= '2024-01-01' AND k < '2025-01-01'
    /// ```
    ///
    /// which is a simpler and a more canonical form, making it easier for other
    /// optimizer passes to recognize and apply further transformations.
    ///
    /// # Examples
    ///
    /// Case 1:
    ///
    /// Original:
    /// ```sql
    /// date_part('YEAR', k) = 2024 AND k >= '2024-06-01'
    /// ```
    ///
    /// After preimage rewrite:
    /// ```sql
    /// k >= '2024-01-01' AND k < '2025-01-01' AND k >= '2024-06-01'
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Since this form is much simpler, the optimizer can combine and simplify
    /// sub-expressions further into:
    /// ```sql
    /// k >= '2024-06-01' AND k < '2025-01-01'
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Case 2:
    ///
    /// For min/max pruning, simpler predicates such as:
    /// ```sql
    /// k >= '2024-01-01' AND k < '2025-01-01'
    /// ```
    /// are much easier for the pruner to reason about. See [PruningPredicate]
    /// for the backgrounds of predicate pruning.
    ///
    /// The trade-off with the preimage rewrite is that evaluating the rewritten
    /// form might be slightly more expensive than evaluating the original
    /// expression. In practice, this cost is usually outweighed by the more
    /// aggressive optimization opportunities it enables.
    ///
    /// # Half-Open Intervals
    ///
    /// The preimage API uses half-open intervals, which makes the rewrite
    /// easier to implement by avoiding calculations to adjust the upper bound.
    /// For example, if a function returns its input unchanged and the desired
    /// output is the single value `5`, a closed interval could be represented
    /// as `[5, 5]`, but then the rewrite would require adjusting the upper
    /// bound to `6` to create a proper range predicate. With a half-open
    /// interval, the same range is represented as `[5, 6)`, which already
    /// forms a valid predicate.
