    Description

      Filtering while using the `.data` pronoun does not work properly on arrow datasets - presumably because `.data` is meaningful for something else in arrow? `.data` doesn't always need to be used when using dplyr verbs interactively, but it is pretty much a requirement when writing packages that use the verbs, to avoid an R CMD check note.

      Curious on thoughts/workarounds for this! Thank you!
