> Currently the function {{as_type()}} expects argument {{type}} to be a {{DataType}}, e.g.
> {code:r}
> as_type(int32())
> ## Int32
> ## int32{code}
> It would be nice if this function could also accept a string and return a {{DataType}}, e.g.  
> {code:r}
> as_type("int32")
> ## Int32
> ## int32{code}
> See discussion here: [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/10327#discussion_r640171712]
