Description

The functions count_substring, count_substring_regex, find_substring, and find_substring_regex all accept binary types but the function extract_regex, match_substring, match_substring_regex, match_like, starts_with, ends_with, split_pattern, and split_pattern_regex do not.

They should either all accept binary types or none should.
