Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-8320:
-------------------------------------
An embedded question here is what kinds of issues might occur in our C++
library if fed memory that is not word-aligned. Probably the documentation
should _recommend_ using aligned memory but not _require_ it
> [Documentation][Format] Clarify (lack of) alignment requirements in C data
> interface
