> With the new dataset writing bindings, one can do {{ds.write_dataset(data,
> format="feather")}} (Python) or {{write_dataset(data, format = "feather")}}
> (R) to write a dataset to feather files.
> However, because "feather" is just an alias for the IpcFileFormat, it will
> currently write all files with the {{.ipc}} extension.
> I think this can be a bit confusing, since many people will be more familiar
> with "feather" and expect such an extension.
> (more generally, ".ipc" is maybe not the best default, since it's not very
> descriptive extension. Something like ".arrow" might be better?)
