   I just put up this PR to introduce a new flag `assign_fresh_ids` on 
`create_table` and related methods.
   
   > Keep in mind that the REST catalog also might re-assign IDs (I think the 
one we use in the integration tests also does this).
   
   Yes I think this is extremely great to make note of. I ran into this issue 
when setting up the integration tests against the REST Catalog image and I was 
a bit confused. I understand that it is upto the REST Catalog Server to decide 
how it wants to create the table once the request is accepted, but I can't help 
but find it very counter-intuitive that the REST Catalog takes id assigned 
Schema, PartitionSpec and SortOrder and would still assign fresh IDs ☚ī¸
   
   Regardless, I'm excited to introduce this feature, so that we can support 
more migration workflows through PyIceberg - which is something many users have 
been hoping to do through Python applications 🚀
