Describe the bug
Changing the name of a column in a DataFrame doesn't change the name you use to access the column
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
StringDataFrameColumn city = new StringDataFrameColumn("City", new string[] { "London", "Berlin" });
PrimitiveDataFrameColumn<int> temp = new PrimitiveDataFrameColumn<int>("Temperature", new int[] { 12, 13 });
DataFrame dataframe = new DataFrame(city, temp);
Console.WriteLine((string)dataframe["City"][0]);
// Change the name of the column:
dataframe["City"].SetName("Stadt");
// Still accessed as "City" but is named Stadt
Console.WriteLine(dataframe["City"].Name);
// Accessing as "Stadt" cause an exception
Console.WriteLine((string)dataframe["Stadt"][0]);
Expected behavior
That the column name inside the DataFrame gets updated so it can be accessed as:
dataframe["new name"]
Additional context
Would be great if one could change the name of a column and get a new column where the name is new but it points to the same data. (Useful for my use case, and perhaps valuable for others too.)
