investigate uin32 indexes in dataframes

The code seems to imply that at some time pandas might have supported uint32 indexes, which were used to save RAM:
see outdated note here:
since I removed these misleading lines in #10 I opened this issue just in case we run into memory problems.
Note: I couldn't find a pandas version that supported it. Furthermore in the later merge of dataframes a new index is created anyway...

Yeah, I was simply mistaken. I didn't know pandas super well in those days... I'm sure there are plenty of things in this code which are kinda dumb.
On the other hand, the just-released pandas 2.0 now supports other index types. So maybe I was just predicting the future... 7 years in advance.
