Topic: Data table with non-symbolic column names

Is there a package providing a columnar data table, preferably Tables.jl-compliant, that supports column names which are not symbols or strings? I'd like a data table whose columns are indexed by tuples, say a symbol-integer pair.

Tables.jl’s interface is to allow integer or symbol access to columns: https://tables.juliadata.org/dev/#Tables.AbstractColumns

So if you want it to be Tables.jl-compliant, I think it would need symbol names too.

Good point. In that case, I'd still be interested in a package with this feature, even if not (completely) Tables.jl-compliant.
