   Thanks a lot for these iterations as well as the crystal-clear examples, 
these really help.
   
   The `TableProvider` approach in `advanced_parquet_index.rs` is powerful, 
particularly appealing when clients want to optimize predicates pushed down by 
DF query planner.
   
   For other use-cases of `ParquetAccessPlan`, such as static masks applied to 
Parquet files (deletion vectors etc.), `TableProvider` feels a bit too 
low-level. I'm personally a bit scared of the maintenance overhead when 
re-implementing the instantiation of `ParquetSource` etc: I'd much rather 
delegate to Datafusion default Parquet codepaths & standard configuration, so 
that we don't miss out on newer changes upon DF upgrades / accidentally regress.
   
   I'm currently prototyping some alternative wiring of the `ParquetAccessPlan` 
via a `FileFormat` wrapper: slightly hacky but I hope to intercept and patch 
the `FileScanConfig` passed in `FileFormat#create_physical_plan` calls. This 
comes with the advantage of being a higher-level entrypoint. 
   
   I'm still curious if we could ease up the process of passing the 
`ParquetAccessPlan`. Unless I missed some codepaths, patching the `extensions` 
of `PartitionedFile` felt surprisingly difficult, I would love some easier 
wiring via `ParquetReadOptions` & cie.
