This also ensures that we only use data frame operations that we have documented that we use internally. Specifically, this avoids
df[i, j](and its assignment variant) which suffers fromdrop = FALSEissues with bare data frames. It is replaced with usage ofdf[i],dplyr_row_slice(), anddplyr_col_modify(). Tests have been added to ensure that we never regress here.Preserving the column types in
xwas something that we already document, but this wasn't actually occurring correctly. Instead, we often ended up taking the common type (especially with bare data frames).
