> With the new dataset writing bindings, one can do {{ds.write_dataset(data, format="feather")}} (Python) or {{write_dataset(data, format = "feather")}} (R) to write a dataset to feather files. 
> However, because "feather" is just an alias for the IpcFileFormat, it will currently write all files with the {{.ipc}} extension.   
> I think this can be a bit confusing, since many people will be more familiar with "feather" and expect such an extension. 
> (more generally, ".ipc" is maybe not the best default, since it's not very descriptive extension. Something like ".arrow" might be better?)
