   The point of the PyCapsule Interface is to not have your API be stuck/tied 
to any one library implementation. So instead of taking in a `table: 
pyarrow.Table`, you should take in an `ArrowStreamExportable`, [defined 
as](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CDataInterface/PyCapsuleInterface.html#protocol-typehints)
   
   ```py
   class ArrowStreamExportable(Protocol):
       def __arrow_c_stream__(
           self,
           requested_schema: object | None = None
       ) -> object:
           ...
   ```
   
   So for any input object that advertises an `__arrow_c_stream__` method, you 
can import its data into your internal Arrow implementation of choice using, 
say, `pyarrow.table(input_object)`
