I encountered a problem for type_coercion and need help🥲 Here TypeCoercion would rewrite an Expr thus brings a 'Cast', and the name for Cast would not just be the expr name in the Cast in this PR, thus rewrite_preserving_name will introduce an Alias, which is not expected. https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/b41ef20c5dad7bdd674e3cc5f35a9c99efae676c/datafusion/optimizer/src/analyzer/type_coercion.rs#L102-L116

I think we should change the display_name not create_name, as the comment said, name for casting should preserve

See https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/3727 for why preserving name

Looks like this one has some test failures to review before it is ready for review

I encountered an issue: the plan's schema would change during rewrite stage.👀 In

explain verbose SELECT CAST(2 AS INTEGER);

After simplify_expressions, ConstEvaluator will rewrite the Cast to an Alias to ScalarValue, and the name for the Alias is different from the Field name in the original schema (Because in the past the Cast's name is just the expr, which is the same as the Alias's name, but now it's not.

I will dive into related code but it may take some time. :) I'm not so familiar with related code base but I will try to learn it.
