Description
We don't have extensibility here except for Parsers (String -> Something). So List -> Int is always an error. Would be nice to be able to generate a map of supported converters and use it for diagnostic there
`dataFrameOf("a" to columnOf(listOf(1, 2, 3))).convert { a }.toInt()`
We'd be able to filter some obvious errors, like selected File column being converted toDouble, etc. Seems minor, but interesting. Ideally it should be something lightweight, Map?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the parser-based converter behavior and compiler plugin context described in the issue; no source files or tests are named. Define the supported converter metadata and public API, then verify diagnostics for invalid conversions such as List→Int and File→Double.
