Hm, this might actually be a nice solution. Three questions before we continue: 1. What about other canonical extension types, should they have the same behavior? 2. If we change the behavior of the `to_pandas_dtype` in the `DataType` subclasses we are also changing the behavior for `to_pandas`. What would be the implications? 3. Would it be worth cleaning up the docstrings for `BaseExtensionType` and its subclasses? As they are now inheriting from `DataType` without any mention of the extension type behavior. This are not meant as suggestions for this PR but are meant to trigger a more general discussion right from start. If we proceed this way we can make follow-up PRs any time. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
