Currently the error when you have the wrong number of columns listed is better than it was originally (relating to #1779), but it still makes no reference to the headers in the source itself.
In the case that we are loading from a CSV (or, google sheets?) it seems like we should show that header row when we display the error, ideally in a form that could be copied and pasted.
This is definitely a draft -- it doesn't touch the google sheet code (which I don't know where lives -- CPO?), and I'm not sure if this is the right way to retain that info, but throwing out the header row immediately makes it impossible to report a good error.
With this change, mismatches report the header columns that showed up in the CSV (if present), as well as the first data row (as an example). The
c-strs aren't ideal, but I didn't want to spend time refining in case there is another approach that would be better (also, they were already there with current behavior).
