Description

The R binding for the wday date accessor added in this PR https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/10507 currently doesn't support returning the string representation of the day of the week (e.g. "Mon") and only supports the numeric representation (e.g. 1).

We should implement this, though discussion should be had about whether this belongs at the R or C++ level.
