--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's indeed a backwards incompatible change for {{nbytes}} in Python, but I
think we can consider it as a "bug" that right now it doesn't return the actual
bytes for the data represented by the array (but the bytes of the full buffer).

> This could be a method on arrays, chunked arrays, record batches, and tables.
> This method takes array offsets into account.
> We should probably add this alongside the existing nbytes field with clear
> commenting about the difference between the two of them. Both can be useful
> depending on the need.
