Review Comment:
I'm going to remove the alias and use a wrapper. I'm not sure if it's
possible to update the docstring of an alias without affecting the original
method's docstring.
I tried this:
```
drop = drop_columns
drop.__doc__ = """Alias of Table.drop_columns, kept for backwards
compatibility."""
```
..but got an error:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File "pyarrow/table.pxi", line 4729, in init pyarrow.lib
AttributeError: attribute '__doc__' of 'method_descriptor' objects is not
writable
```
