Added Automatic Type Determination for dictGet and dictGetOrDefault Functions

Official CH changelog text
Added dictGet and dictGetOrDefault functions that do not require specifying the type of return value. The type is determined automatically from the dictionary description. Amos Bird
Added dictGet and dictGetOrDefault functions that automatically infer the return type from the dictionary description, eliminating the need to specify it explicitly.

Why it matters

These functions simplify queries by removing the requirement to manually specify the return type of dictionary lookups, reducing errors and making the syntax cleaner and easier to use.

How to use it

Use dictGet and dictGetOrDefault just like the existing dictionary functions but without specifying the return type. The functions will infer the return type based on the dictionary's schema automatically.
