#' @title Arrow scalars
#' @usage NULL

#' @docType class
#'
#' @description A `Scalar` holds a single value of an Arrow type.
#' 
#' @section Methods:
#'   `$ToString()`: convert to a string
#'   `$as_vector()`: convert to an R vector
#'   `$as_array()`: convert to an Arrow `Array`
#'   `$Equals(other)`: is this Scalar equal to `other`
#'   `$ApproxEquals(other)`: is this Scalar approximately equal to `other`
#'   `$is_valid`: is this Scalar valid
#'   `$null_count`: number of invalid values - 1 or 0 
#'   `$type`: Scalar type
#'
#' @name Scalar
#' @rdname Scalar
#' @examplesIf arrow_available()
#' Scalar$create(pi)
#' Scalar$create(404)
#' # If you pass a vector into Scalar$create, you get a list containing your items
#' Scalar$create(c(1, 2, 3))
