Hello, I'm writing to propose "+vl" and "+vL" as format strings for list-view and large list-view arrays passing through the Arrow C data interface [1].
The previous proposal was considered a bad idea because existing parsers of these format strings might be looking at only the first `l` (or `L`) after the `+` and assuming the classic list format from that alone, so now I'm proposing we start with a `+v` as this prefix is not shared with any other existing type so far. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. [ ] +1 - I'm in favor of this new C Data Format string [ ] +0 [ ] -1 - I'm against adding this new format string because.... Thanks everyone! -- Felipe [1] https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CDataInterface.html
