Review Comment:
   Actually, I tried this out for copying the buffers directly in case of 
list/object. We're still decoding and encoding in case of top-level primitives 
though.
   
   It's in a separate branch for now. The test is failing because equality on 
variant is also checking for metadata buffer equality. Here it is: 
https://github.com/Samyak2/arrow-rs/commit/00bd07dd322fc66791b5decbf0c04a0ddb56f417
   
   If this is what you meant, I'll find a way to make the tests pass and add it 
here
