Description

Per wesmckinn's comments on feather#232 should have a script we can provide to:

• test that R arrow package's feather functions are drop-in replacements for feather package on CRAN
• offer evidence to developers when we try to get people to migrate from feather package to arrow

cc romainfrancois I'll do this one.
