Review comment:
       I don't think that's bad because `x` is the name of the argument in 
these functions. If the argument were named something else, it would use that 
name:
   
   ```
   > f <- function(zzz) {
     assert_that(is_writable_table(zzz))
   }
   > f(letters)
   Error: zzz is not an object of class 'data.frame', 'RecordBatch', or 'Table'.
   > f(c("a", "b"))
   Error: zzz is not an object of class 'data.frame', 'RecordBatch', or 'Table'.
   ```
   
   This is how `assertthat` does it too. See 
https://github.com/hadley/assertthat/blob/master/R/base-is.r for example.
