Avoiding some deep copies in case of pandas >= 3.0. Starting with pandas 3.0, most methods on a DataFrame (like rename or (re)set_index) will not return a hard copy of the data, but only a shallow copy (protected by Copy-on-Write, to ensure it still behaves as a copy).
We can follow that new behaviour in our own methods, so checking for a few cases where right now we always do a
copy()
of self before adjusting and returning it.
