In functions like regexp_count we have definition like this:

def regexp_count(
    string: Expr, pattern: Expr, start: Expr | None = None, flags: Expr | None = None
) -> Expr:

It is a common pattern that the pattern is a string, the start is an integer, and flags is a string (or single character).

It would be more pythonic if we can just pass those values without wrapping them in a lit() call.

Describe the solution you'd like

Review the regexp functions in the function library and find other common patterns.

For each allow users to not have to specify a Expr. We do this in other places in the code, so a pattern is already established.
