   I still support this change, but three notes for the historical record:
   
   * An R Core developer messaged me about this failure, suggesting that we 
needed to update our code to handle the classed error that the parser is now 
returning, and I responded that the code that was causing the issue was in the 
check for unstated dependencies in tests, i.e. it's not in `arrow`. He 
responded that there was indeed something in the check code that needed to be 
updated to handle this and is looking into it. So it is possible that this 
r-devel check failure will go away on its own soon.
   * As this [insightful blog 
post](https://enpiar.com/2018/02/01/back-to-the-future/#iii-way-back-to-the-distant-past)
 notes (and as alluded to in a code comment), the reason for the indirection of 
having a separate latin1.R file was because Solaris choked on non-ASCII files. 
Since CRAN doesn't check on Solaris anymore, this is no longer a concern, and 
consolidating the files should be ok.
   * When I submitted 8.0.0 to CRAN yesterday, I deleted latin1.R and 
test-utf.R to avoid the warning.
