Research direction

Start by reviewing the changes in DataFusion #12846 and the linked discussion on arrow-rs #6553, then compare the unit test macro's current coverage with the DataType variants documented by arrow. Done means the remaining applicable data types are covered, either in DataFusion or upstream as the maintainers decide.
