Can't get around resetting the index, as far as I know, but for the filtering you can also do,

`table.query("column > 2 and column2 < 3")`

do any IDEs help you autocomplete the string argument? that's a bit part of the non-standard evaluation magic in the tidyverse these days; you can use bare, _unquoted_ names, _and_ get excellent autocomplete, at least in RStudio.
