There's 3 distinct issues here:
1) Physical memory representation
2) Metadata
3) Implementation details
On these
1) I think no one will argue that String/Binary have the same memory
representation as List, and regardless of the
implementation that you can perform a zero-copy cast without copying
I'm +1 on what Wes said.
(and +1 on what I said... jk :)
I'll actually be offline most of next week but would like to continue to be
part of the discussion so I'll do my best to try to check in but let's hold
on making any formal decisions until next week if that is okay..
