   Thanks for the suggestion! This would need to be suggested at an Arrow 
specification level, for which the suggestion ought to be posted to 
apache/arrow instead of apache/arrow-dotnet. I find it somewhat unlikely that 
this would be accepted, because while the 100ns tick is a super-useful place on 
the tradeoff between precision and range (given a fixed bit size), it seems to 
be used almost exclusively inside Microsoft-related ecosystems.
   
   What might be a more interesting proposal is something which aligns with 
database-level specifications like datetime(x) where x is the number of digits 
of precision. For ticks, x would be seven. This could also be done as a 
standardized extension type.
   
   (The arrow-dotnet library doesn't yet have great support for extension 
types, but I'm trying to find time to work on that.)
