> The package startup message about masking base functions can be scary. We
> should avoid masking base functions without a compelling reason (i.e. let's
> do arrow_array() instead of array(), arrow_table()). The arrow versions do
> very different things than the base functions; plus, end users shouldn’t be
> dealing directly with Tables and Arrays, so they don’t need to figure so
> prominently in the public API of the package.
