> @jonkeane what do you think? Is the type of the object returned by
strptime of concern? base::strptime() returns a list (POSIXlt), while the Arrow
one returns an atomic vector. We hadn't caught this before as the unit tests
for strptime did not compare the {dplyr} and {arrow} pipelines.
There are a few comments about this in the tests that reference this — I
don't think it was unknown. POSIXlt is pretty unique to R (I'm sure there were
other languages that have similar types), but they aren't super wide-spread,
and Arrow doesn't support them directly (though you can see in the R package we
make a (pseudo)-extension class for them).
