to the Dataframe class

   @HyukjinKwon what do you mean when you say the Scala impl has this? I'm 
missing it.
   
   I don't see the value in this. From the blog post at 
https://medium.com/@mrpowers/chaining-custom-pyspark-transformations-4f38a8c7ae55
 why is ...
   ```
   actual_df = (source_df
       .transform(lambda df: with_greeting(df))
       .transform(lambda df: with_something(df, "crazy")))
   ```
   better than just
   ```
   actual_df = with_greeting(source_df)
   actual_df = with_something(actual_df, "crazy")
   ```
