We could implement `.ptype` in a follow-up ticket if there is user interest in it. A possible implementation might involve calling cast on the `case_when` expression to cast it to the correct type. We might want to use `infer_type()` so users can pass in e.g. `integer()` like in the `.ptype` example in the dplyr tests. To do this, we can implement `infer_type.DataType` which just passes the input object back out - then users can input either R objects or Arrow datatypes to this function. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
