This function takes a pdata.frame and turns all of its columns into objects of class pseries.

further arguments (currently not used). |
Background: Initially created pdata.frames have as columns the pure/basic class (e.g., numeric, factor, character). When extracting a column from such a pdata.frame, the extracted column is turned into a pseries.
At times, it can be convenient to apply data transformation operations on
such a pseriesfy
-ed pdata.frame, see Examples.
A pdata.frame like the input pdata.frame but with all columns turned into pseries.

# When using with()
with(pGrun, lag(value)) # dispatches to base R's lag()

# When lapply()-ing
lapply(pGrun, lag) # dispatches to base R's lag()
lapply(pGrun2, lag) # dispatches to plm's lag() respect. panel structure
# as.list(., keep.attributes = TRUE) on a non-pseriesfy-ed
# pdata.frame is similar and dispatches to plm's lag
lapply(as.list(pGrun, keep.attributes = TRUE), lag)
