> The current implication of the C Interface is that only moving a single child out of an ArrowArray is allowed. 
> Questions:
> * Should it be allowed to move multiple children, as long as they are moved at the same time, and the parent is released after?
> * In the event that children have disjoint internal resources, should there be a clarification around moved children having their resources released independently?
