Description

Description

evaluateAst, arraySizeForAst, listOfScalarValues, coerceScalarToNumberOrError, runFunctionWithReferenceArgument, metadata all need documenting.

These are protected methods available for custom functions for users to use so they should be documented. They are already used in the NumericAggregationPlugin heavily.

Research direction

Start with the custom class definition section of the linked custom-functions guide and inspect how NumericAggregationPlugin uses evaluateAst, arraySizeForAst, listOfScalarValues, coerceScalarToNumberOrError, runFunctionWithReferenceArgument, and metadata. Document these protected methods for custom-function authors, and confirm that all six are covered in the relevant API or guide documentation.
