Parser improvement: Collapse columns into a single factor variable #7

Closed legaultmarc closed 8 years ago

For things like ethnicity, there are multiple choice columns (e.g. caucasian, hispanic, black, etc.). It would be ideal to have a mechanism to parse a single factor variable from these multiple columns.

This is done using the "merge" repl command and the merge_as_factor API command.
