Hmmm.. my thinking was that the Ecto DSL was exactly what would make it more approachable. For example, a big chunk of `dplyr` is the way it builds composable queries...

This should totally be in Explorer :). It doesn't require new dependencies and it would be obnoxious for it to be a dedicated library. Not only is it useful, but...

Oh very interesting! This is far outside my wheelhouse but absolutely seems like a good idea. My understanding is that it might be worthwhile to implement the Simple Features Standard....

@jsonbecker Do you have thoughts on ergonomics/ease of use with factors? What can we do to make them easy to work with and intuitive beyond copying R?

I agree, we need a better error message. That's the way to go.

Oh I really like the `_with` suffix idea! I think having the macro version of filter/mutate/summarise means that _eager_ polars can use the lazy API behind the scenes to permit...

I didn't even consider it, but I see your point that we can just convert to lazy before applying the callback on the back end and that will provide lazy...

Congrats @joshuataylor! Great stuff. 🎉
