Description

### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

You've probably thought and discussed this already, but the naming system for the read_ APIs is a little inconsistent.

```
read_parquet # No arrow
read_csv_arrow
open_csv_dataset # Why not open_csv_arrow_dataset
```
I guess you added `_arrow` to differentiate between {readr}?

---

Since I'm here, the `as_data_frame` should probably be `as_tibble` ?

---

I suspect you won't change the above, but just in case you hadn't spotted it.

I know these are really bugs - sorry.
