If dataframe has column called 'index,' df.index refers to the column, causing hard-to-decipher errors.

[maxhosler]

Describe the bug When creating a DataFrame by providing an Object, if one of the columns is called 'index,' then 'df.indexwill point to that column instead of the actualDataFrame` index. This caused very hard-to-decipher errors when I was working with a table I did not know contained such a column.

To Reproduce

let obj = {
foo: [1,2,3,4,5],
bar: [5,6,7,8,9],
index: ['a','b','c','d','e']
}
df = new DataFrame(obj).setIndex('foo')

df.index.includes(1) //Throws error

Expected behavior df.index should give the index of df. Failing that, a warning that I've created a DataFrame with a column named index.

I have this same issue when I have a json file with some data which has a column named "index", This is for when I have only one record in the json

subIdx = this.index.slice(0, maxRow);
                    ^
TypeError: this.index.slice is not a function

and this is for when I have multiple records

Error: IndexError: Row index must contain unique values

and when I get rid of the column named "index", it works.

Yes, I can confirm that creating a DataFrame with a column named 'index', or adding a column named 'index', breaks the DataFrame (prints nothing, does not seem to have any rows)
