> (from discussion in ARROW-9489 with [~maartenbreddels])
> A general "where" kernel like {{np.where}}
> (https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.where.html) seems a
> generally useful kernel to have, and could also help mimicking some other
> python (setitem-like) operations.
> The concrete use case in ARROW-9489 is to basically do a
> {{fill_null(array[string], array[string])}} which could be expressed as
> {{where(is_null(arr), arr2, arr)}}.
