There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is not a thing that should be allowed with unqualified nodes, since any method or property name you add becomes something that can no longer be used as a PyDough term name.

Type of change
What changed and why?
Adds the
LISTOFfunction to PyDough to aggregate data into arrays, and theEXPLODEoperator to flatten such arrays into multiple rows of table data. Also added support for DataFrame collections containing arrays, which become array literals in the SQL.How I tested this?
array_data_to test the LISTOF and array literal features.explode_to test different variations of the EXPLODE operator, both on arrays and strings. Variations include:collection.EXPLODE(data)collection.CALCULATE(x=COUNT(EXPLODE(data)))collection.EXPLODE(...).EXPLODE(...))Notes for reviewers
