Review Comment:
This is more verbose than many of our messages (and I'm happy for some
streamlining), but my reasoning for being _so_ explicit is that if someone
finds themselves in this situation, they might not even realized what is going
on with architectures, versions, emulation etc. So I wanted to give people more
details to be able to get to a good state (native R + native arrow)
