Panic for list of lists with nil entries

[maennchen]

Code

Explorer.DataFrame.new(
  [
    %{addresses: nil},
    %{
      addresses: [
        %{lines: ["Nadarzyn Mszczonowska 24"]},
        %{lines: ["Nadarzyn Mszczonowska 24"]}
      ]
    },
    %{addresses: [%{lines: nil}, %{lines: nil}]}
  ],
  dtypes: [{"addresses", {:list, {:struct, [{"lines", {:list, :string}}]}}}]
)

Expected

Either an error explaining that the lists can't be nil or the following:

#Explorer.DataFrame<
  Polars[3 x 1]
  addresses list[struct[1]] [
    [],
    [%{"lines" => ["Nadarzyn Mszczonowska 24"]}, %{"lines" => [...]}],
    [%{"lines" => []}, %{lines: []}]
  ]
>

Actual
