If we go identity functions for `Variant::as_xx` we can drop `Variant::as_u8/16/32/64` from `parquet-variant` entirely and keep them only as cast semantics in `parquet-variant-compute`? [We don't shred to unsigned types](https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/VariantShredding.md#shredded-value-types) and the only path to use it would be cast in `variant_get`, so `parquet-variant` can safely drop them. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
