> [R] Work around masking of data type functions
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-12322
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12322
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Reporter: Ian Cook
> Priority: Minor
>
> There are more than two dozen data type functions in the arrow package, and
> they are named very generically, so they represent a large surface area for
> potential masking problems, which are likely to occur in user environments,
> not in our CI. If these masking errors do occur, they will probably give
> frustratingly unhelpful error messages. This happened to me with
> {{rlang::string()}}. The error was:
> {quote}Error in is_integerish\(x\) : argument "x" is missing, with no default
> {quote}
> This can be worked around with some non-standard eval magic.
> I implemented a working version of this in
> [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9952] but we removed it before merging
> that PR because there were questions about whether there was a better way to
> implement it.
