add option to turn off automatic column categorization (NUMBERS, CATEGORIES)

When loading csv file into Analyst, some columns are categorized as "CATEGORIES" automatically even its data type is numeric (Integer, Real, etc.).


As far as I know, these columns all have names ending with "mode" or "type", etc.


Generally, if column's data type is numeric then it should be categorized as "NUMBERS". I assume above behavior is a feature by design.


Please add option to turn off this feature by configuration, so as to categorize a column only by its data type.
