Might we mention something like "do not yet have an R equivalent"? At least for duration I imagine we will map it on to lubridate's duration type at some point?

This isn't relevant in this doc, but now I'm curious: what is the limitation of R factors here?

Might we mention something like "do not yet have an R equivalent"? At least for duration I imagine we will map it on to lubridate's duration type at some point?

^1^: These integer types may contain values that exceed the range of R's
`integer` type (32-bit signed integer). When they do, `uint32` and `uint64` are
converted to `double` ("numeric") and `int64` is converted to
`bit64::integer64`. This conversion can be disabled (so that `int64` always
yields a `bit64::integer64` vector) by setting `options(arrow.int64_downcast = FALSE)`.

^2^: Some Arrow data types do not currently have an R equivalent and will raise an error
if cast to or mapped to via a schema.

Might we mention something like "do not yet have an R equivalent"? At least for duration I imagine we will map it on to lubridate's duration type at some point?

^3^: `arrow*_binary` classes are implemented as lists of raw vectors.

^4^: Due to the limitation of R `factor`s, Arrow `dictionary` values are coerced to string when translated to R if they are not already strings.

This isn't relevant in this doc, but now I'm curious: what is the limitation of R factors here?

Not a clue tbh; I think @ianmcook may(?) have written this text originally, so might have a better idea than me


^5^: `arrow*_binary` classes are implemented as lists of raw vectors.
^5^: `arrow*_list` classes are implemented as subclasses of `vctrs_list_of`
with a `ptype` attribute set to what an empty Array of the value type converts to.

^6^: `arrow*_list` classes are implemented as subclasses of `vctrs_list_of` with a `ptype` attribute set to what an empty Array of the value type converts to.
