## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Expand the possible ways to interact with the contents of a `pyspark.sql.types.StructType` instance. - Iterating a `StructType` will iterate its fields - `[field.name for field in my_structtype]` - Indexing with a string will return a field by name - `my_structtype['my_field_name']` - Indexing with an integer will return a field by position - `my_structtype[0]` - Indexing with a slice will return a new `StructType` with just the chosen fields: - `my_structtype[1:3]` - The length is the number of fields (should also provide "truthiness" for free) - `len(my_structtype) == 2` ## How was this patch tested? Extended the unit test coverage in the accompanying `tests.py`. Author: Sheamus K. Parkes <shea.parkes@milliman.com> Closes #12251 from skparkes/pyspark-structtype-enhance.
