Review Comment:
BTW this method also has a different return type than the
`FixedShapeTensorArray.to_numpy_ndarray` we added, so that's another reason to
use a different name (or just remove it)
For FixedShapeTensorArray the idea was that we wanted to be able to return a
single nD array, which is possible for fixed shape, but not for variable shape.
