Ian Cook commented on ARROW-13435:
----------------------------------
I prefer the approach of adding {{arrow_table()}} because in my experience,
dollar signs in R code are frightening to many users—even to users with
significant R experience because the tidyverse has made it so that many whole
workflows can be performed in R without ever typing a dollar sign. For that
reason alone I think this is worth it.
> [R] Add function arrow_table() as alias for Table$create()

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Reporter: Ian Cook
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 6.0.0

>
> In the arrow R package, there is a function {{record_batch()}} that is an
> alias for {{RecordBatch$create()}}. It would be nice to have a similar
> friendly alias for the even more commonly used {{Table$create()}}. Obviously
> we can't use {{table()}} for this, but how about {{arrow_table()}}?
