Research direction

Start by comparing pyarrow's concat_table() with the C++ ConcatenateTables API referenced in the issue. Then review the related R cookbook issue on appending tables and determine how dplyr::bind_rows() should expose row concatenation. Done means the R interface supports the requested table binding consistently with those references.
