Function is_bare_reader_scalar_ty 

pub(crate) fn is_bare_reader_scalar_ty(ty: &Type) -> bool

True if ty is a bare known-scalar ident (no Option, no generic args).

These are the element types whose Vec<Option<ty>> round-trips through TryFromSexp — required for the column-expansion readers, which read each expanded slot as Vec<Option<elem>> (the write side wraps every slot in Option). Allowing Option<scalar> here would ask for Vec<Option<Option<…>>>, which has no TryFromSexp impl.

pub(super) so enum_expansion.rs can reuse it.
