How to add a new column with a scalar value?

[ScottWilliamAnderson]

I was looking at the docs but the examples they give for adding a new column are only by modifying an existing column, not adding new data:
https://ibis-project.org/tutorials/coming-from/pandas#adding-columns

import ibis
t = ibis.memtable({'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': ['a', 'b', 'c']})

t.mutate(c = 'text')

IbisTypeError: Column 'text' is not found in table. Existing columns: 'a', 'b'.

Is there a way to create a new column with a scalar value on all rows? e.g. like

import pandas
df = pandas.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': ['a', 'b', 'c']})
df['c'] = 'text'

Thank you!

Hey @ScottWilliamAnderson , you can populate a new column with a string by wrapping it in ibis.literal, so

t.mutate(c=ibis.literal("text"))
