Description

The Children operator was introduced to support FHIRPath children(https://hl7.org/fhirpath/#children-collection) but is accessible from standard CQL via the following syntax:

SomeTupleOrList.children()

It seems it is seldom used, but we should consider supporting it.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked CQL Children and FHIRPath children specifications and clarify how SomeTupleOrList.children() should behave in standard CQL. The issue names no repository files, entry points, or tests, so identify the relevant operator-dispatch area and establish coverage for the supported syntax before considering the work complete.
