 names passed to the `f` predicate as strings return `true`.

+When multiple `cols` selectors are passed then the sets of columns selected by them

+`operator` should be a set operation function, like `union`, `intersect`, `setdiff`, and `symdiff`
+defined in Base Julia. By default `operator=union` in which case all columns matching
+at least one selector are returned.
