Description
Hi,
I'd like to get some dataframe for a given design_info which describes the different rows.
E.g. if there is some formula ~ 1 + cat1 + cat2, I'd like to get a dataframe:
cat1 cat2 | cat1[T.1] cat1[T.2] cat1[T.3] cat2
A X | 0 0 0 0
A Y | 0 0 0 1
...
Is this possible with Patsy?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing Patsy's existing design_info-related API and its handling of formulas such as ~ 1 + cat1 + cat2; done would be a supported way to obtain a Pandas DataFrame relating input category rows to the resulting encoded columns.
