[ExpandingMan]

Thanks, it really was not good of me to use internal fields like that. Shouldn't be too hard to fix, but I'm pretty deep in a major rewrite of this package (which so far I'm still hoping wont' depend on CategoricalArrays at all).

In the meantime, anything that doesn't involve dictionary-encoded columns should be unaffected by this.
