Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

Arrow seems like a great system for working with data _once you already have some Arrow-format data to work with,_ but trying to reach that point seems needlessly complicated. For a system dedicated to batch processing of data, you'd expect that one of the most fundamental operations would be to take a list of POCO data objects and serialize it to a `Table`. But if there's any serializer in the `Apache.Arrow` library, or even any helpers that would be useful for building one, I can't find them anywhere.

What's the recommended way to serialize a list of objects to a `Table`?
