   Part of me says I don't _need_ the data, I'd rather have all of the 
filenames created ... but that's more of a feature-request than a bug-report.
   
   ```r
   res <- arrow::write_dataset(mtcars, "mt", partitioning = c("cyl", "gear"))
   res
   # NULL
   list.files("mt", recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE)
   # [1] "mt/cyl=4/gear=3/part-0.parquet" "mt/cyl=4/gear=4/part-0.parquet" 
"mt/cyl=4/gear=5/part-0.parquet" "mt/cyl=6/gear=3/part-0.parquet"
   # [5] "mt/cyl=6/gear=4/part-0.parquet" "mt/cyl=6/gear=5/part-0.parquet" 
"mt/cyl=8/gear=3/part-0.parquet" "mt/cyl=8/gear=5/part-0.parquet"
   ```
   
   That is, I don't want to need to do `list.files(..)`, since `arrow` knows 
internally what files were created. A recursive search can get a little 
annoying if there are many existing files.
