> {code:python}
> >>> pa.union([pa.field('x', pa.int16())], 'sparse')
> UnionType(union[dense]<x: int16=0>)
> >>> pa.union([pa.field('x', pa.int16())], 'dense')
> UnionType(union[dense]<x: int16=0>)
> >>> pa.union([pa.field('x', pa.int16())], 42)
> UnionType(union[dense]<x: int16=0>)
> {code}
> I would suggest allowing "sparse" and "dense" strings as aliases to the
> internal enum values, and disallowing everything else.
