Description

After seeing issue #67, was curious as to what people think as to adding this capability to all functions?

Some of them, like df.limit_column_characters(), already return in place. I don't think it will be hard to extend to others.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the codebase to identify functions that currently lack in place returning. Look at existing patterns like `limit column characters` that already return in place, and implement a consistent pattern across all relevant functions. Ensure the behavior is documented and tested.
