Builds a ListOffsetArray which describes unequal-length lists (often called a "jagged" or "ragged" array). The underlying data for all lists are in a BUILDER content. It is subdivided into lists according to an offsets array, which specifies the starting and stopping index of each list.

template<typename PRIMITIVE, typename BUILDER>
class awkward::LayoutBuilder::ListOffset< PRIMITIVE, BUILDER >
Builds a ListOffsetArray which describes unequal-length lists (often called a "jagged" or "ragged" array). The underlying data for all lists are in a BUILDER content. It is subdivided into lists according to an offsets array, which specifies the starting and stopping index of each list. 
The offsets must have at least length 1 (corresponding to an empty array).
The offsets values can be 64-bit signed integers int64, 32-bit signed integers int32 or 32-bit unsigned integers uint32.
