Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-13165:
-----------------------------------------

> you can create a `StructArray` using `Array$create()`

True, if you have a data.frame. But not if you have Arrays. Here's an 
illustration:

{code}
> a <- Array$create(1:5)
> b <- Array$create(6:10)

# I can make a RecordBatch fine:
> record_batch(a = a, b = b)
RecordBatch
5 rows x 2 columns
$a <int32>
$b <int32>

# But how can I make a StructArray?
> Array$create(a = a, b = b)
Error in Array$create(a = a, b = b) : unused arguments (a = a, b = b)
{code}

> The {{project}} kernel creates a column of struct (equivalent to a column of 
> named lists in R). Add to {{make_compute_options}} in {{compute.cpp}} so we 
> can pass {{ProjectOptions}} to the {{project}} kernel.
> One practical application of the {{project}} kernel is to create a binding 
> for the stringr function {{str_locate}} which returns a column of named lists.
