[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-18148) [R] Rename read_ipc_file to read_arrow_file & highlight arrow over feather

--------------------------------------
+1 to doing this, have added a comment on the community discussion as it seemed to be moving towards a conclusion but not there entirely

> Following up from [this mailing list conversation|https://lists.apache.org/thread/nxncph842h8tyovxp04hrzq4y35lq4xq], I am wondering if the R package should rename `read_ipc_file()` / write_ipc_file()` to `read_arrow_file()`/ `write_arrow_file()`, or add an additional alias for both. It might also be helpful to update the documentation so that users read "Write an Arrow file (formerly known as a Feather file)" rather than the current Feather-named first approach, assuming there is a community decision to coalesce around the name Arrow for the file format, and the project is moving on from the name Feather.
