Description
Designated future work following on from Tensors, supporting columns where each tensor has a variable shape. We would like to use the Arrow VariableShapedTensor canonical extension type, although support in pyarrow is currently limited.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing Tensors work and the current pyarrow support, then define how columns with variable-shaped tensors should use the Arrow VariableShapedTensor canonical extension type and what behavior would demonstrate completion.
