Review Comment:
   This is simply a baby step towards implementing things like `COPY TO`s, 
`INSERT INTO`s and functionality like that. In practical cases, these things 
will write their outputs through a `TableProvider` like a `ListingTable`. How 
do we test what that will look like and iterate on such functionality? 
Basically, this is the simplest writer that one can perform end-to-end 
(read-transform-write) experiments with, its main intention is for anyone to 
use as a basis/example for implementing their read/write operators for their 
own `TableProvider`s. I hope it makes a little more sense now.
   
   > If you guys feel strongly that this is the right and maintainable solution 
going forward I will defer to your judgement, but from where I see it just adds 
complexity / technical debt for no reason.
   
   Thank you -- rest assured we will be maintaining and helping with related 
work going forward.
