> In the R package would you export make_readable_file() ? 
> We want to interact with Feather files in our R package and are using arrow::FeatherReader$create(), which requires as input an Arrow file connection object. We thought we would follow the lead in read_feather() and use make_readable_file() like
> {code:java}
> f <- function(file) {
>   file <- make_readable_file(file)
>   on.exit(file$close())
>   reader <- FeatherReader$create(file)
>   # do stuff ...
> }
> {code}
> but make_readable_file is not exported by arrow, so this approach might not satisfy CRAN requirements.
> Can you export make_readable_file? Or is some other preferred way to go from a .feather file to the required inputstream for FeatherReader$create?
