Hi,

In data people use there are often bounded numbers, mostly integers with clear 
and fixed upper and lower bounds but also decimals and floats as well e.g. test 
scores, numerous codes in older databases, max temperature of a city, 
latitudes, longitudes, numerous IDs etc. I wonder whether we should include 
such types in Arrow (and more importantly in Parquet & Avro where size matters 
a lot more).

P.S. An implementation of bounded integers in C++ is here:
