 - Added debuggability improvements to show which Python lines an SQL compilation error corresponds to. Enable it using `snowflake.snowpark.context.configure_development_features()`. This feature also depends on AST collection to be enabled in the session which can be done using `session.ast_enabled = True`.
 - Set enforce_ordering=True when calling `to_snowpark_pandas()` from a snowpark dataframe containing DML/DDL queries instead of throwing a NotImplementedError.
