Review comment:
       Can you expand on why making `ManifestEntry` public makes the API harder 
to use? Is it just because we then have to account for the fact that this is a 
public API?
   
   I personally am more fond of this proof of concept as opposed to the other 
one, so I'd love to get insight into your comment here.
   
   If it's just because we would then have to treat this API public, is it 
possible something could be done to mark it as private to iceberg, equivalent 
to scala's `private[iceberg]`?
