Could you explain more why should we handle a singular `dict`? `pa.array()`
is meant for array-like things, so I'm not sure why we would expect you could
pass in a dictionary and have it parse as a struct. We don't parse other
singular scalars into arrays. For example, if you pass a integer, it doesn't
make an integer array:
```python
>>> import pyarrow as pa
pa.array(3)
>>> pa.array(3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "pyarrow/array.pxi", line 327, in pyarrow.lib.array
File "pyarrow/array.pxi", line 39, in pyarrow.lib._sequence_to_array
File "pyarrow/error.pxi", line 144, in
pyarrow.lib.pyarrow_internal_check_status
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable
```
