> Currently to write files incrementally to S3, the following pattern appears necessary:
> {{def write_dfs_to_s3(dfs, fname):}}
> {{    first_df = dfs[0]}}
> {{    table = pa.Table.from_pandas(first_df, preserve_index=False)}}
> {{    fs = s3fs.S3FileSystem()}}
> {{    fh = fs.open(fname, 'wb')}}
> {{    with pq.ParquetWriter(fh, table.schema) as writer:}}
> {{         # set file handle on writer so writer manages closing it when it is itself closed}}
> {{        writer.file_handle = fh}}
> {{        writer.write_table(table=table)}}
> {{        for df in dfs[1:]:}}
> {{            table = pa.Table.from_pandas(df, preserve_index=False)}}
> {{            writer.write_table(table=table)}}
> This works as expected, but is quite roundabout. It would be much easier if `ParquetWriter` supported `filesystem` as a keyword argument in its constructor, in which case the `_get_fs_from_path` would be overriden by the usual pattern of using the kwarg after ensuring it is a proper file system with `_ensure_filesystem`.
