>
> Add a {{Cast}} function on a column level that casts all underlying arrays.
> There are three possible options we could implement:
> * Make a special cast implementation that takes a ChunkedArray and returns a
> simple Array
> * Make a universal implementation that takes a ChunkedArray and applies a
> Kernel on each Array, returning a ChunkedArray with the same chunking
> * Make a universal implementation that takes a ChunkedArray and applies a
> Kernel on each Array, returning a plain Array with no chunking
