There was a problem hiding this comment.
I believe #917 is proposing 0-based index 😆 I believe I commented whether we should offer an option to do either zero-based index or one-based index... So, we'd better be consistent.

Adding two common list functions to the core spec.
subscript_operatorReturns the element at a 1-based index, or NULL for out-of-bounds access. Matches PostgreSQL and CockroachDB semantics.
In an earlier iteration, I tried to get this to cover more databases (e.g. Trino) but it was becoming an hodgepodge of configuration parameters, so I opted to just have the simple impl for now. We can add more complexity later if necessary.
index_ofReturns the 1-based index of the first occurrence of a value in a list, or NULL if not found. Matches PostgreSQL, DuckDB, DataFusion, and CockroachDB.
Trino returns 0 instead of NULL when not found, which is... strange. Just going to not have Trino's behavior represented here.
