I'm not entirely sure this makes sense to add; since the original issue was opened, we've mostly satisfied the original use case as we implemented `glimpse()`, and calling `head()` then `collect()` makes a lot of sense as a workflow for previewing results, as we are explicitly pulling the data into R with those. For this to make sense, we'd need to swap out the R types for the Arrow types, and document this as something that could be useful after calling `compute()` or working intentionally with Arrow Tables to preserve the type etc. We still have the schema printing with Datasets, unless we want to extend this to those too, but then are we going to only do it for local Datasets? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
