Description

Related to comment https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/8256#discussion_r494402171

There's a bunch of these :

#' @export
sum.Array <- function(..., na.rm = FALSE) scalar_aggregate("sum", ..., na.rm = na.rm)

#' @export
sum.ChunkedArray <- sum.Array

#' @export
sum.Scalar <- sum.Array

and having a empty base class between these and ArrowObject would help, we would only have one function and let S3 do its thing
