I think these are important for basic usability of any dplyr backend. dbplyr defines them for all of the major databases (https://github.com/tidyverse/dbplyr/search?q=%22as.numeric%22+backend) and many other dplyr backends do too. I hear your qualms about mixing R and Arrow paradigms, but I think practically speaking these are too important not to implement. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
