Passing arguments to pa.Table.to_pandas

[dhirschfeld]

In my current code I have a very large pa.Table that I want to convert to pd.DataFrame. In the to_pandas call I specify split_blocks and self_destruct as I don't want 2 copies of the data in memory.

I'm thinking of porting this code to narwhals so was wondering if there's a way to do the same - convert to a pa.Table to different format without doubling the memory requirements?

I'm interest in converting to either pandas or polars hence why I thought narwhals might be a good fit.

thanks for the requestion - we can probably allow for keyword arguments to be passed down like we do in collect and read_csv

i've converted this to an issue #2123
