   The plan is to handle the cast logic within every `Variant::as_xx` function. 
Do you think this is the right direction? If so, I'll move forward with it.
   
   The reasons for implementing the cast logic in `Variant::as_xx` are as 
follows:
   1. Currently, arrow cast kernels are column-based, while the casts in 
`variant_get` are row-based; we can't directly use the cast kernel; we can only 
reuse the logic in the cast kernel as much as possible.
   2. This requires maintaining the cast logic in two places, but the basic 
cast logic remains changed little over time, so it should be manageable.
