Description

This might be more of a question that I would have asked on a chat, so sorry if inappropriate here as an issue.

 

I am trying to get the Arrow type from a native C++ type. 

I would like to use something like

 

`arrow_type<uint8_t>::type -> UInt8Type` or `arrow_type<uint8_t>() -> shared_ptr<UInt8Type>`

 

Is that implemented somewhere?
