Description

What kind of feature would you like to request?

Additional function parameters / changed functionality / changed defaults?

Please describe your wishes

We should think about splitting rank_genes_groups into all its methods having on function or each. This would make API handling easier and allow for more parameter for each function. eg add a split_by or return_u for wilcoxon

Research direction

Start with the rank_genes_groups entry point and review how its existing methods and parameters are exposed. Clarify whether the goal is separate functions, method-specific parameters such as split_by or return_u, or both; done should include an agreed API design and corresponding behavior for each method.
