Description

I expected to be able to round-trip the serialization of a `CartesianIndex`:
```julia
julia> df = DataFrame(a = 1, b = CartesianIndex(1,1))
1×2 DataFrame
Row │ a b
│ Int64 Cartesia…
─────┼─────────────────────────────
1 │ 1 CartesianIndex(1, 1)

julia> Arrow.write("table.arrow", df)
"table.arrow"

julia> df = DataFrame(Arrow.Table("table.arrow"))
1×2 DataFrame
Row │ a b
│ Int64 NamedTup…
─────┼──────────────────────
1 │ 1 (I = (1, 1),)
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown DataFrame round trip with Arrow.write and Arrow.Table, using a CartesianIndex column. Trace how CartesianIndex is serialized and reconstructed, then verify that reading the written table returns CartesianIndex values rather than the displayed NamedTuple representation.
