When operating on an ungrouped object, mutate will use methods from {plyranges} but when operating on a grouped object, mutate will rely on vanilla tidyverse by converting the object to a tibble. The result is then coerced back to DataFrame to update the metadata of the object. Of note, core columns can be used in this framework to create new metadata columns.
