Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.
We have two functions that are inverses of each other that are confusingly named;

• cast_to_variant which casts arrow arrays to variant
• variant_to_arrow which casts variants to arrow arrays

Further adding to the confusion is that we have modules named arrow_to_variant which doesn't contain the casting kernel

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the names to be consistent

Describe alternatives you've considered
I propose changing the names of the casting functions to be more explicit:

• cast_arrow_to_variant
• cast_variant_to_arrow

And leaving the conversion code in the modules arrow_to_variant and variant_to_arrow
