   > The spec defines extension types as metadata on Fields
   
   I believe the language in the spec is limited to exchange via FFI and 
serialization via IPC (e.g., Java, Go, and Arrow C++ include extension types as 
objects with native fields and only serialize when specifically requested). I 
don't believe it has caused confusing situations in other languages but it 
could be worth asking others! I will give it a try anyway and see what kind of 
implementation effort/downstream impacts it may have.
