Converting from NullableWeakRefString to String

[jpfairbanks]

I found this package yesterday and think it is great. When reading a feather file generated by pandas, the string columns come out as Nullable{WeakRefString{UInt8}} is there a "right way" to convert this to a DataFrame with regular Strings for this Column? I dropped the Nulls before writing the feather file, so I know there will be no nulls in the feather file.

Yes, you can Feather.read(file; weakrefstrings=false) to ensure regular Strings are generated.
