> Subtask for ARROW-14196.
> Currently, if you have a list column, where the list elements itself are
> nested items (eg a list of structs), selecting a subset of that list column
> requires something like {{columns=["columnA.list.item.subfield"]}}. While
> this "list.item" is superfluous, since a list always contains a single child.
> So ideally we allow to specify this as {{columns=["columnA.subfield"]}}.
> This also avoids relying on the exact name of the list item (item vs
> element), for which the default differs between Parquet and Arrow.
