Fixes #911
While the discussion of separators in generated accessors is for later, this PR at least fixes the case for flatten.
Given a DataFrame with
df.group.child1
anddf.group.child2
. Callingflatten
withkeepParentNameForColumns
will introduceflatDf.group_child1
andflatDf.group_child2
by default now.This makes it a bit easier compared to the previous default with "." which made the flattened column name "group.child1" and the accessor
flatDf`.`group child1`
.
