Description

It would be a nice ergonomic improvement to allow for construction of literals using the data type directly. An example:

pl.select(pl.lit(8, dtype=pl.UInt32))  # existing usage
pl.select(pl.UInt32(8))                # proposed usage

I haven't thought this through for all datatypes but at least for basic integer/string/date types it would be a nice improvement.
