Description
- Should we allow `infer_nanoarrow_schema()` on schema objects?
- Should we allow `infer_nanoarrow_ptype()` on R objects, effectively emulating data roundtrip?
For DBI.
``` r
library(nanoarrow)
df <- data.frame(a = 1:3, b = 4.5, c = "five")
schema <- nanoarrow::infer_nanoarrow_schema(df)
nanoarrow::infer_nanoarrow_schema(schema)
#> Error in infer_nanoarrow_schema.default(schema): Can't infer Arrow type for object of class nanoarrow_schema
nanoarrow::infer_nanoarrow_ptype(df)
#> Error in nanoarrow::infer_nanoarrow_ptype(df): `x` must be a nanoarrow_schema(), nanoarrow_array(), or nanoarrow_array_stream()
tibble::as_tibble(nanoarrow::infer_nanoarrow_ptype(schema))
#> # A tibble: 0 × 3
#> # ℹ 3 variables: a , b , c

Research direction
Start with the infer_nanoarrow_schema() and infer_nanoarrow_ptype() entry points and reproduce the R examples in the issue. Determine the intended behavior for schema inputs and R objects in the DBI use case, then add coverage showing the accepted inputs and resulting types.
