Review comment:
I need to do more with this to support this. It converts ok, but it
doesn't roundtrip correctly. In the conversion to record batches here, the
named list of named lists gets turned into a 2 row, 1 column data frame (where
each cell has three structs named "one_row", "two_row", "three_row"). When in
fact what we want here is a 3 row, 1 column data frame (where each cell has two
structs named "a" and "b").
