----------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Support more objects in as_schema() and use it in more places
                 Key: ARROW-17179
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17179
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: R
            Reporter: Dewey Dunnington


Right now the {{as_schema()}} method isn't used in many places and doesn't support many object types. It is probably a good fit for sanitizing arguments where a schema is expected and likely has more classes that can be interpreted in this way (e.g., Field or DataType as identified in ARROW-16444). After ARROW-16444, the internal {{in_type_as_schema()}} function used to sanitize the {{in_type}} argument of {{register_scalar_function()}} may be a good candidate for this.
