   For IPC it seems to work:
   
   ```python
   table = pa.Table.from_arrays(
      [pa.array([None, None], pa.null())],
      schema=pa.schema([pa.field("a", pa.null(), 
metadata={"ARROW:extension:name": "arrow.test"})])
   )
   with pa.ipc.new_file("/tmp/test_ext_no_meta.arrow", table.schema) as f:
       f.write(table)
   
   with pa.ipc.open_file("/tmp/test_ext_no_meta.arrow") as f:
       result = f.read_all()
   print(result.schema)
   
   pa.register_extension_type(DummyExtType())
   
   with pa.ipc.open_file("/tmp/test_ext_no_meta.arrow") as f:
       result = f.read_all()
   print(result.schema)
   ```
   
   And the same for write/read Parquet (where we get the extension type from 
the ARROW:schema)
