@pitrou I was thinking more of passing
```
key_names=["3", "123", "6558"]
```
and cast the key names (string) to the match the datatype of key column
(integer), as supposed to cast the key column to match the key names.
```
is to accept a key column of type dictionary(int, string)
```
I think this is OK but less convenient because user would need to basically
cast and zip themselves, and perhaps the signature becomes more complex? (if we
want to support, say, uint32, uint64, int32, int64 etc)
