Pull request overview
This PR simplifies the fetchdictarray API by removing the redundant return_nulls boolean parameter. Instead, the presence or absence of null columns is now controlled by whether null_suffix is set to None (to exclude null columns) or a string value (to include them). The default behavior changes from excluding null columns to also excluding them, but through a simpler interface.
Key changes:
- Removed the
return_nullsparameter from the function signature and implementation - Changed the default value of
null_suffixfrom"_isnull"toNonein the C++ code - Updated the docstring to reflect the new API and improved documentation formatting

This PR removes the
return_nullskwarg fromfetchdictarray, and changes the default argument ofnull_suffixtoNone. The docstring has been updated accordingly.No functionality is lost by this change because the boolean
return_nullssimply enabled or disabled null-column inclusion, which is now indicated by passingnull_suffix=None.Closes #39.
