there are a lot of Union{T,Missing} columns where either all the data is missing or all the data is of type T, but there should never be a mix of Ts and Missings. These would be good candidates for SentintelVectors, so that (when the data is not missing) users can get a Vector{T} without having to make a copy of the data
