Bug: hierarchical columns and the .select method

[tibor-mach]

Description

If the name of a top level colum which contains some subcolumns is the same as a level of a 1-level colum, the .select method seems to only select the multilevel column.

Example:
If I have meta.id and meta.doc and then also another column called meta , then .select("meta") only seems to select the former two.

Version Info

0.5.1
Python 3.12.6

I'm not sure it should be allowed at all - to have a nested column meta and a regular field meta at the same time. Would it be a deal breaker for the scenario if we put a limitation like that @tibor-mach ?

@shcheklein I think it is a good idea to limit this, actually.

Closing this in favor of for now #519
