   Not to my knowledge - please go ahead! The simplest solution for ensuring 
only valid data makes it in to arrow buffers without breaking the API (metadata 
as a bytes->bytes map) is to just try to decode the bytes into a string before 
any write. But the API is wrong and so should be broken, which would mean on 
the python side you could expose a str->str map, even if you had to 
encode/decode these every time you read/write the arrow buffer.
