An issue I noticed with Dataframes recently is that head(df) and tail(df)
both list the show(df) summary (like those above) instead of listing the
top and bottom of the dataframe. I just started using dataframes so I have
no idea what they did in the past but it seems they should list the df and
not the summary.

Also, are there any other handy ways to list the df in the repl?
