Description

I'd like the expressions editor UI to only show functions relevant for the type returned by the node highlighted by the cursor, so if I wanted to add something around it, it would show me what works with that type.

If you have a cursor on a date (function or variable) it should show functions that work on dates.

Research direction

Start at the expressions editor UI and trace how the function tree is populated and how the cursor's highlighted node is represented. Determine how the highlighted node's returned type can select relevant functions, including date values. Done means the tree updates to show functions compatible with the selected expression type.
