"date") on an R object
   
   I may be misinterpreting this, but I think maybe what Jon is getting at is 
whether you could do something like this in an arrow-dplyr chain:
   
   ```
   library(dplyr)
   library(lubridate)
   
   arbitrary_date_object <- ymd_hms("2012-03-26 23:12:13") + days(1:32)
   
   mtcars %>%
     mutate(x = date(arbitrary_date_object))
   
   ```
