@tustvold while I'm all for expressibility abstractions, I do wonder if you
would consider this change as a move towards "sensible defaults". If I were to
poll arrow users, what % do you think would think this cast would go through vs
error? I would guess 95%+ would expect the cast to happen without any errors.
Do you disagree? Is there the other side of the argument that I don't yet
see? In what scenarios would we not want to do the cast from
```
{
"a": 1
}
```
to
```
{
"a": 1,
"b": null // <-- missing field filled in with null
}
```
