## Detailed Description

These are functions that can be used in the `"columns"` argument for select statements:

- cop_as(): rename columns
- cop_prepend(): prepend a string to the output of a column
- cop_append(): append a string to the output of a column
- cop_value(): return a constant value in a column
- cop_upper(): return a column in upper case
- cop_lower(): return a column in lower case

Column operator functions can be nested as in the following example:

Example:
  my *hash $rows = t.selectRows(("columns": cop_as(cop_lower("permission_type"), "perm"), "where": ("permission_type": "USER"), "limit": 100, "offset": 200));
