   Hey, I was wondering what's the correct way to read a boolean value from an 
`arrow::Array`?
   
   For `int64_t` types and `string` types we were able to figure out how to 
read them (example below), however for  boolean we're unsure how to read them 
correctly and how they're encoded. Is it individual bits in the whole 
`array->GetValues()` returned data?
   
   ```c++
   // std::shared_ptr<arrow::Array> array;
   
   // int64
   const int64_t* view = array->GetValues<int64_t>(1,0);
   
   // strings
   const int32_t *offsets = array->GetValues<int32_t>(1, 0);
   const char    *view  = array->GetValues<char>(2, 0);
   ```
   
   It would also be nice to have that information available in the docs.
