As I noted above, `Tuple{Vararg}` actually isn't a concrete type of any kind
of value in Julia, so it doesn't really make sense to talk about what it
translates to in the arrow format. At runtime, you will always have some kind
of concrete `NTuple{N, T}`, based on how many elements there _actually_ are.
Obviously, this could be pretty tricky to serialize to arrow, however, if you
had, for example, a `Vector{Tuple{Vararg{String}}}`, with different sized
tuples. We could potentially try to switch to treating those as lists instead
of fixed-size lists, but it's such a weird/oddball type that it doesn't seem
worth it unless someone has a real use-case for it.
