Review Comment:
   > Actually, I didn't think of it when I wrote this, but the `CScalar` 
probably should _not_ implement `__arrow_c_array__` because it is not 
necessarily representing a CPU array.
   
   Yeah, it's true that things are not fully correct regarding devices right 
now, but I think that is something we can tackle later. i.e. when there is 
better device support, we would add `__arrow_c_device_array__` in addition, 
which always works, and let `__arrow_c_array__` raise an error or something 
like that.
   
   The same happens in pyarrow actually. A pyarrow.Array can right now be 
backed by non-CPU data, but we still have a `_arrow_c_array__` defined on it.
