   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   I'm using `arrow-rs`'s `FFI_ArrowSchema` and `FFI_ArrowArray` where pointers 
to schemas and arrays are transferred between threads, and therefore needed 
special release+private data wrappers over the ones created by this crate.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   This necessitated making their fields `pub`. The only disadvantage I see is 
adding stuff to the public API and force backwards compat, but since these are 
based on the arrow standard, that's kinda already the case.
   
   Note that `FFI_ArrowArrayStream` already has public fields.
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   Add getters/setters. Unsure what the advantage would be, as that would be 
committing to an even broader API.
