Description

We may want to create an uncompressed IPC file to share with JavaScript.
https://quarto.org/docs/interactive/ojs/data-sources.html#file-attachments

Currently, to do this, we need to set up the following, but the string "uncompressed" is long and does not benefit from auto-completion by the IDE, making it difficult to write code.

arrow::write_feather(mtcars, "data.arrow", compression = "uncompressed")

It would be useful to write the following.

arrow::write_feather(mtcars, "data.arrow", compression = FALSE)
