Hi!
I just came across this repo, and want to use it. However, I want to make sure that I do things the dbt-thonic way. How would you suggest referencing a UDF in a model, to keep dbt aware of the lineage of it?

I can think of a couple of ways:

• Use a -- depends on: ref('...') flag in the header of any model that uses it
• Wrap it in a macro, and put the -- depends on: ref('...') flag in the header of the macro
  • This begs the question: Why not just turn the UDF into a macro?

Do you have any advice regarding this?

Dbt 1.5.0

I am trying to use the materialized view materialization.

The materialized view is created as expected. But on the second run dbt tries to drop it, and fails with error "SQL compilation error: Object found is of type 'MATERIALIZED_VIEW', not specified type 'VIEW'."

I guess this is because dbt uses SHOW TERSE OBJECTS IN SCHEMA to determine objects types, and according to doc https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/show-objects :

For materialized views, this returns “VIEW”, not “MATERIALIZED VIEW”.
