Change the result column headers

[vstepaniuk]

Would be nice to optionally change the result column headers for

[{"a":[{"b":"c"},{"b":"d"}]}]

from

a/0/b, a/1/b

to

a/b0, a/b1

or

a/b1, a/b2.

What do you think?

That would be nicer output, but it would be much harder and slower to do. During conversion, it would have to sort of "look down" into each element and check to see if any keys match and perform special logic, which is expensive. The current approach is there because it can just walk through every level of the object without caring about "nephews/nieces" it as it assembles each column header. So, it's unlikely to change.

You could just post-process the column headings after the conversion is finnished

and I don't see how it makes it more difficult to process - we just need to change the headings
