Description

In recent work documenting the ExecPlan interface (ARROW-15091) and in trying to make a simple example using it (https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/11799) we are seeing some rough edges. This parent issue will track a number of subtasks that should make the C++ API easier to work with.
