Description

We should create documentation (in restructured text) for the library that demonstrates:

1.  Basic construction of ValueVectors.  Highlighting:

    * ValueVector lifecycle

    * Reading by rows using Readers (mentioning that it is not as efficient as direct access).

    * Populating with Writers

2.  Reading and writing IPC stream format and file formats.
