//! [`UnnestOptions`] for unnesting structured types
use crate Column;
/// Options for unnesting a column that contains a list type,
/// replicating values in the other, non nested rows.
///
/// Conceptually this operation is like joining each row with all the
/// values in the list column.
///
/// If `preserve_nulls` is false, nulls and empty lists
/// from the input column are not carried through to the output. This
/// is the default behavior for other systems such as ClickHouse and
/// DuckDB
///
/// If `preserve_nulls` is true (the default), nulls from the input
/// column are carried through to the output.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ## `Unnest(c1)`, preserve_nulls: false
/// ```text
/// ┌─────────┐ ┌─────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────┐
/// │ {1, 2} │ │ A │ Unnest │ 1 │ │ A │
/// ├─────────┤ ├─────┤ ├─────────┤ ├─────┤
/// │ null │ │ B │ │ 2 │ │ A │
/// ├─────────┤ ├─────┤ ────────────▶ ├─────────┤ ├─────┤
/// │ {} │ │ D │ │ 3 │ │ E │
/// ├─────────┤ ├─────┤ └─────────┘ └─────┘
/// │ {3} │ │ E │ c1 c2
/// └─────────┘ └─────┘
/// c1 c2
/// ```
///
/// ## `Unnest(c1)`, preserve_nulls: true
/// ```text
/// ┌─────────┐ ┌─────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────┐
/// │ {1, 2} │ │ A │ Unnest │ 1 │ │ A │
/// ├─────────┤ ├─────┤ ├─────────┤ ├─────┤

/// Instruction on how to unnest a column (mostly with a list type)
/// such as how to name the output, and how many level it should be unnested
