Description

Datatables Responsive class logic is great and flexible.
But unfortunately I haven't found an ability to set some column as not never visible, but not visible from or till some medium class (min-/max- mobile/tablet/desktop).
For example, to make table columns with buttons for current row's editing never visible on mobile, but always visible on tablet and desktop.
If it's possible - please provide some instructions.
If it's not - I believe it would be a useful additional feature.

The feature is done when a column can be hidden below or above a selected breakpoint while remaining visible at the other sizes, including the described row-action example.
