Adding data type evaluations in the frontend is not a path we should walk or the frontend needs to become extendable to a certain extend.

Profiling of data types already happens in the frontend, we are just using the results here.

These warnings do not block applying a transform to a non-matching data type but are rather meant to help developers catching unintended usage of transforms as early as possible.
