Description

Could this be made to work:
DataFrame(A=Any["SomeStringA"]) |> @mutate(B=rstrip(_.A, 'A'))
Currently it fails with:
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching rstrip(::DataValues.DataValue{Any}, ::Char)

Research direction

Start by running the reported DataFrame and @mutate reproduction with an Any-typed column, then trace how rstrip receives DataValues.DataValue{Any}. Done means the expression works for the shown input without the MethodError, with a regression test covering the behavior.
