Hi. Does the lib support type "any" - http://specs.frictionlessdata.io/table-schema/#any?

Hi! It is not really possible for an object to be of “Any” type, but it is nevertheless a valid type value. It gets used in certain (rather rare) circumstances, e.g. as.vector(x, "any"), indicating that type coercion should not be done.

I mean could we have a schema descriptor like this?
"fields": [
{"name": "name", "type": "any"},
]
Internally it could be handled as string type for example. But we just need to do not fail on it.

Yes of course!
