Lack of docstrings in src/tablecloth/column/api/operators.clj

[Prometheus77]

Very few of these functions have docstrings, and the source code is also not very helpful as most just refer to another function. The cljdocs page looks very bare. Even for cases where the function name makes the operation obvious, there are several that take an :options key with no documentation of what options can be passed, e.g. abs.

@ezmiller are you able to add it?

As far as I understand, the docstrings are brought from the underlying dtype-next functional API, which is wrapped by the Tablecloth column API.

It would be good to add the docstrings at the corresponding dtype-next functions and let them propagate to Tablecloth.
I think @cnuernber recently made it more convenient to contribute such docstrings (cnuernber/dtype-next#105).

@Prometheus77 were you proposing to work on that? If you wish, please let me know if I can help make sense of the source.

[ezmiller]

That's right @daslu. We import the docstrings from dtype-next. I think I might have created a mechanism to override -- I will check later. But I think @daslu is right that the better thing to do would probably be to update the docstrings in dtype-next to main a single source of truth for lifted operations.
