It's a good point...I think there wouldn't be much debate over what the
canonical mapping of format strings to aliases would be. Some thoughts:
- Other open questions would be whether to support `children` as a mapping
or allow shortening of types where everything is defaulted except the `format`
(e.g., `{"col_name": "int32"}` is very nice to read!).
- Not sure if anybody would complain about the "default" being non-nullable
(I think it's the default in all language implementations for a field).
- We probably want the flags to be verbose (e.g., `["non_nullable",
"dictionary_ordered"]`).
If nanoarrow counts for a second implementation I'm happy to draft an
implementation 🙂
