[jira] [Created] (ARROW-18148) [R] Rename read_ipc_file to read_arrow_file & highlight arrow over feather

-----------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Rename read_ipc_file to read_arrow_file & highlight arrow over feather
Key: ARROW-18148
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18148
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation, R
Reporter: Stephanie Hazlitt
Following up from [this mailing list conversation|https://lists.apache.org/list?dev@arrow.apache.org:lte=1M:feather], I am wondering if the R package should rename `read_ipc_file()` / write_ipc_file()` to `read_arrow_file()`/ `write_arrow_file()`, or add an additional alias for both. It might also be helpful to update the documentation so that users read "Write an Arrow file (formerly known as a Feather file)" rather than the current Feather-named first approach, assuming there is a community decision to coalesce around the name Arrow for the file format, and the project is moving on from the name Feather.
