Description
DataFrame primary interface seems to be over-complicated. A lot of methods have only default implementations and could be moved to extensions. I propose to simplify it significantly like I've done here. It would allow to add and maintain features in a simpler way. For example, it would allow to addition of row-based DataFrames.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the DataFrame primary interface and comparing its default implementations with the linked dataforge-tables Table.kt example at lines 15-20. Determine which methods should move to extensions and how row-based DataFrames fit; done requires an agreed design and the corresponding interface simplification.
