rename DataFrame.properties()? #1539

Description

@Jolanrensen

I just spent way too long trying to figure out how that function was called that allowed me to find just the column accessors of my dataframe.

...column... columns... columnScope... scope... accessors... cols?..

I started to look on the documentation site, nothing...

Found the ColumnScope type, had to search for functions that return it, and only then I found .properties().

Could we try another name perhaps? I knew the function existed, but still couldn't find it. And looking at the name "properties" with fresh eyes, I'd imagine a user/AI might think this function provides "properties" of the dataframe, like its size, column names etc. So let's try to come up with some other candidate names :)
