Description

Prework

Proposal

Following up on: https://discord.com/channels/1345877328982446110/1346204814584844288/1357111866693779526

It would be nice to be able to hide or rename columns in the GT objects returned by e.g., .get_tabular_report, .get_step_report.

In my case, I tried to use .get_tabular_report().cols_hide("EVAL"), but since the columns are aliased, this doesn't work and it's difficult (impossible) to know what column names one would use. My initial thought is that a raw .schema attribute (or similar) would be provide the info needed to customize/rename/remove columns. But that's just spitballing.
