**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe
what you are trying to do.**
I want to write this to create an array without nulls (as I am used to using
this syntax all over rust codebases):
```rust
let value_data: Int8Array = [10_i8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]
.into_iter()
.collect();
```
However, i have to write this (add a `Some` so it becomes an `Option`) which
is annoying.
```rust
let value_data: Int8Array = [10_i8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]
.into_iter()
.map(Some)
.collect();
```
Note you can write this, but that is not as idomatic
```rust
let value_data = Int8Array::from_iter_values([10_i8, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, 17]);
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
But it would be more ergonomic to be able to just use the collect syntax
Namely I want to write this and have it work:
```rust
let value_data: Int8Array = [10_i8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]
.into_iter()
.collect();
```
Also, for BooleanArray and StringArray
