Review Comment:
@zachdisc I really don't want to widen the api if we can at all help it,
adding a Function<> api is something that will be hard for us to walk back. I
would feel more comfortable if we started with partition_transforms and
consider opening things up more as community demand becomes a bit more
pronounced.
I think a lot of your use cases will work better if we allow users to sort
on any column. We can't really do that at the moment, but we have a lot of
plans for V4 metadata that will allow us to bring all column min/maxes up to
the manifest_list level.
