This would be a useful command. Thank you for proposing it @midichef! I like it and would use it. Saul provided a useful suggestion when I asked in Issue 431 (2022 issues ago): |

These commands should all be on TableSheet instead of BaseSheet.

This is a command to hide any column that contains one value repeated in every row. Is this worth having? It's often the first command I run when opening large tables with such uninformative columns.
I'm not sure what to call the command. Right now it is
hide-unvarying-cols, but perhapshide-uniform-colsis better?hide-repetitive-colsis too hard to spell.
