Discussion of features for next release (tentatively v0.3.0)

[deppen8]

Creating this issue to propose and discuss additions that should be in the next release. Anything that seems like a winner will get added to the Milestone and we can work from there.

I have done no research to see if this is possible, but it would be nice to be able to implement some checks that are "off" by default. This would allow for some more borderline stuff to be added. Bonus points if these could be grouped (e.g., "style", "syntax", "operations", etc) and turned on/off as groups.

An example of this came up today in the PuPPy Slack. It might be good to be able to turn on a "No df" check that discourages the use of generic df as a variable name.

On Twitter, Ted Petrou suggested "Slicing dataframes by row with df[:5] is pretty bad." Would be interesting to see if we can detect this versus other slicing behavior.

I've been working on this. Implementing it will require changing a bunch of our test cases because they violate it, but it should work. 🤣

I have done some research on this and it is possible. Will work on implementing this at the same time as the df check, so that it can be off by default.
