Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-7063:
----------------------------------------
IMO the extra metadata should be accessible by some property/method on the
schema, so you can get at it and view it and parse it or whatever you want, but
it doesn't belong in the simple pretty print method.
I'm fine with writing it my way in R (i.e. schema print only prints its fields,
assuming I can iterate over the Fields in a Schema and print each), and if
y'all like how that looks, we can consider making that the C++ behavior.
