Description
Wondering if DISTINCT supports all types, incl binary, complex, etc? if its not we should be mentioning it in the doc, and double check it returns a respective error instead of crash/corruption

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the DISTINCT implementation, its handling of binary and complex types, and the related documentation and tests; the original discussion is in pull request #11012. Done means supported types are verified, unsupported types produce a respective error rather than a crash or corruption, and the documentation states the supported behavior.
