[Design-Issue] Why drop_column_names in AutoMLConfig only available for Forecast in AutoMLConfig but not for Regression and Classification? #29

Why drop_column_names in the class AutoMLConfig is only available for Forecast in AutoML but not for Regression and Classification?

If you try to use it for other ML Task, like Classification or Regression you get an error.

Looks not very consistent especially since that action (drop columns) could also be useful for other ML Tasks not just for Forecast..

Also, in the docs/reference it doesn't say it is exclusive for Forecast, but you only realize when getting an error:

If something is for exclusive usage on a single scenario or ML Task, it should be said in the docs.
