Review comment:
       Hmm, Arrow to R conversion losing the metadata sounds like what I 
expected. TBH I _am_ a little surprised that the following happens silently, 
since the `tab` below _does_ have the pandas metadata there. Though that's been 
in Arrow for a while and if no one has complained, I guess it's not that 
important.
   
   ```
   > tab <- read_parquet(system.file("v0.7.1.parquet", package = "arrow"), 
as_data_frame = FALSE)
   > 
   > dplyr::select(tab, carat)$metadata
   NULL
   ```
