--------------------------------------------------
[~westonpace] I added the test case, and will modify once the suffixes are
properly added.

> If there is a name collision, we need to do something
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/a3746040d8a3ddb84bab6c7ca4771b6c120e3444/r/R/dplyr-join.R#L31
> A few notes:
> * arrow doesn't seem to actually be able to apply the prefixes (I'm getting
> errors when trying), I couldn't tell if there were tests of this — I couldn't
> find any, so I'm not sure if I'm calling this wrong or if it's not working at
> all.
> * arrow always appends the affixes (where as dplyr only adds them if there is
> a name collision)
> * arrow only supports prefixes (can we configure this, or ask the clients to
> provide new names?) in the tests I wrote I've worked around this, but it
> would be nice to be able to match dplyr/allow things other than prefix
