Description

This was detected in revdep checks for the 10.0.0 release. It probably is connected to the eval_select() change, or perhaps the changes to support across():

> mtcars %>% group_by(.data$cyl) %>% collect() %>% summarize(count=n())
# A tibble: 3 × 2
    cyl count
  <dbl> <int>
1     4    11
2     6     7
3     8    14
> mtcars %>% arrow_table() %>% group_by(.data$cyl) %>% collect() %>% summarize(count=n())
# A tibble: 3 × 2
  `.data$cyl` count
        <dbl> <int>
1           4    11
2           6     7
3           8    14
