Research direction
Compare the wide-table handling in src/Tables.jl at lines 477-483 with the MatrixTable path in src/matrix.jl at line 40. Read the linked Arrow.jl pull request for related context, then determine whether Schema construction should apply the same type-system bypass consistently across table types.
