> This isn't necessarily limited to CSVs, but we should have this philosophy in our developing vignette 
> The general approach we've done with CSV things in the past is:
> (1) support the readr signature to the best extent we can, translating to the arrow parameter names internally;
> (2) allow someone to pass the arrow options (CsvReadOptions etc.) directly, in case they want to do things at a lower level
> (3) where necessary add extra args to the readr signature for features that don't exist in R but do in arrow (e.g. schema)
> This is our general philosophy: present things to the R user in a way that is least surprising to them (most follows R conventions) and also provide access to all of Arrow's features (sometimes that's extra args, sometimes it's the arrow_ prefixed functions in dplyr, sometimes it's just the lower-level R6 objects and methods that more closely follow the C++ interface)
