   > Yes, but we can't really express string tensor with 
`FixedShapeTensorArray`. Perhaps we could with `VariableShapeTensorArray` where 
the last dimension is length of the string? :)
   
   What do you mean with "express"? The "fixed shape" vs "variable shape" in 
the type name is about the _number_ of values in the tensor elements, and not 
about whether those individual values are stored in a fixed width storage 
layout or not. 
   (of course, for conversion to tensor libraries like numpy or pytorch, this 
matters, but not for Arrow itself)
