Currently the FrameModule.Melt method converts all columns to key-value pairs under the index. It would good to be able to provide parameters like Python's Pandas DataFrame and R's data.table melt operations where you can specify the ID columns to use to distinguish the rows (effectively the index) and the columns you actually wish to melt. It is possible to mimic this behaviour by re-indexing and sub-setting columns before melting but it is likely nowhere near as efficient as being able to implement the functionality under the hood where it can be better optimised, especially as the frames get much larger.
