Prerequisites

Hi， csvtk is a great work like dplyr and some software in R. csvtk is very simple and convenient without working in special language environments like R and python. As I know, It has gather command which can make short lines into long lines, but there is no command that can make long lines into short lines. I used to like pivot_longer and pivot_wider (https://tidyr.tidyverse.org/reference/pivot_longer.html) to do this conversion. But now I love into csvtk.

Could you be nice to take some time to deal with this issue?

Yes, it should be useful. Someone advised this before as well. But I'm going to have my holiday, so I'll add it to the TODO list.
