• orgtbl_to_df(table) — Parse an org-mode table back into a DataFrame.
• df_from_orgfile(path) — Read named tables from .org files.
• from_dta(fn) — Read Stata .dta files with automatic label decoding.
• normalize_strings(df, ...) — Normalize string columns in a DataFrame.
• find_similar_pairs(s1, s2) — Find fuzzy-matching pairs between two Series.
