Matthew Roeschke commented on ARROW-15666:
------------------------------------------
Speaking from experience on the pandas side, I agree with [~jorisvandenbossche]
and would caution against "inference" logic. While convenient for users, the
maintenance burden can be quite significant since inference tends to have an
indefinite scope, leading to more custom logic, edge cases, etc
