Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-14262:
----------------------------------------

The docstrings have been added in ARROW-14751 but the rest of this issue still holds.

> The is_in_meta_binary and index_in_meta_binary functions do not have any "_doc" elements.  I had simply ignored them assuming they were some kind of specialized function that shouldn't be exposed for general consumption (see ARROW-13949) but I recently discovered they are legitimate binary variants of their unary counterparts.
> If we want to continue to expose these functions we should rename them (meta I assume means meta function but the python/r user has no idea what a meta function is) and add _doc elements.
