   Hi @jonkeane, this is great. The only extension I'm personally familiar with 
is `units`. Would that make sense to test here? See:
   
   ```r
   > library(arrow)
   > library(units)
   > df <- data.frame(x=1:10)
   > units(df$x) <- "s"
   > df
           x
   1   1 [s]
   2   2 [s]
   3   3 [s]
   4   4 [s]
   5   5 [s]
   6   6 [s]
   7   7 [s]
   8   8 [s]
   9   9 [s]
   10 10 [s]
   > class(df$x)
   [1] "units"
   > # write.csv/read.csv drops units
   > tf <- tempfile()
   > write.csv(df, tf)
   > read.csv(tf)
       X  x
   1   1  1
   2   2  2
   3   3  3
   4   4  4
   5   5  5
   6   6  6
   7   7  7
   8   8  8
   9   9  9
   10 10 10
   > # write_csv_arrow errors
   > tf <- tempfile()
   > arrow::write_csv_arrow(df, tf)
   Error: Invalid: Unsupported Type: [s]
   > # write/read_parquet works great
   > write_parquet(df, tf)
   > read_parquet(tf)
           x
   1   1 [s]
   2   2 [s]
   3   3 [s]
   4   4 [s]
   5   5 [s]
   6   6 [s]
   7   7 [s]
   8   8 [s]
