As an alternative, one can support EXTRACT to extract fields from datetimes. You can run any datetime function with EXTRACT(<datetime_function> FROM <expression>). So

SELECT EXTRACT(DAY_OF_YEAR FROM CAST('2018-02-19T10:23:27Z' AS TIMESTAMP)) AS day;

      day
---------------
50

is the equivalent to

SELECT DAY_OF_YEAR(CAST('2018-02-19T10:23:27Z' AS TIMESTAMP)) AS day;

      day
---------------
50
