   I.e. the feature request would enable calling
   ```python
   beam.io.ReadFromBigQuery(
       project="your-project",
      dataset="your-dataset",
      table="your-table"
      method=beam.io.ReadFromBigQuery.Method.DIRECT_READ,
      flatten_results=False,
      output_type="BEAM_ROW"
   )
   ```
   for tables with nested entries - e.g. tables with the following schema
   ```
   <TableSchema
       fields: [
           <TableFieldSchema
               fields: []
               name: 'primitive_1'
               type: 'INTEGER'>,
           <TableFieldSchema
               fields: []
               name: 'primitive_2'
               type: 'STRING'>,
           <TableFieldSchema
               fields: [
                   <TableFieldSchema
                       fields: []
                       name: 'nested_lv1_1'
                       type: 'STRING'>,
                   <TableFieldSchema
                       fields: []
                       name: 'nested_lv1_2'
                       type: 'STRING'>,
                   <TableFieldSchema
                       fields: [
                           <TableFieldSchema
                               fields: []
                               name: 'nested_lv2_1'
                               type: 'STRING'>,
                           <TableFieldSchema
                               fields: []
                               name: 'nested_lv2_2'
                               type: 'FLOAT'>]
                       mode: 'REPEATED'
                       name: 'nested_lv1_3'
                       type: 'RECORD'>]
               mode: 'REPEATED'
               name: 'nested'
               type: 'RECORD'>]>
   ```
   
   This schema would be the input to 
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/5223ab466e78f403680a22036d3a769897d0cf9d/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/gcp/bigquery_schema_tools.py#L56
 as discussed above.
