Research direction

Start by examining how the package currently depends on dplyr and how its methods are registered. Compare that approach with the load-time registration used by arrow; done means the methods register at load time and the dplyr dependency can be removed.

Description

Looks good to me. Eventually we also should probably consider dropping the dplyr dependency by registering the methods at load time like arrow does. Thanks for this.
