Datatable Column

This is a type used in Stencila Schema for a column within a Datatable.

It exists to make column metadata, values, and inferred structure explicit instead of encoding tabular data only as rows of cells. This supports typed data access, validation, and richer integrations with analytical and executable workflows.

Key properties include the column name, values, and any associated hints or validators.
