Krisztian Szucs commented on ARROW-9001:
----------------------------------------
[~romainfrancois] [~npr] Based on the github conversation I assume we can
postpone it to 3.0. Please reset the fix version if it can be included in 2.0.
> [R] Box outputs as correct type in call_function

> This would prevent segfaults by putting the externalptr in the wrong kind of
> R6 container, plus allow us to skip a bunch of hackery where we try to track
> or guess the class of the object returned from call_function (could be Array,
> ChunkedArray, Scalar, RecordBatch, or Table).
> reticulate does something along these lines; it's a subclass of environment I
> think but not exactly an R6 class.
