> This would prevent segfaults by putting the externalptr in the wrong kind of R6 container, plus allow us to skip a bunch of hackery where we try to track or guess the class of the object returned from call_function (could be Array, ChunkedArray, Scalar, RecordBatch, or Table).
> reticulate does something along these lines; it's a subclass of environment I think but not exactly an R6 class.
