        If a library does not support lazy execution and `backend` is not specified,
        then this is will only restrict the API to lazy-only operations. This is useful
        if you want to ensure that you write dataframe-agnostic code which all has
        the possibility of running entirely lazily.

        Arguments:
            backend: Which lazy backend collect to. This will be the underlying

                given library does not support lazy execution, then this will restrict
                the API to lazy-only operations.

                `backend` can be specified in various ways

                - As `Implementation.<BACKEND>` with `BACKEND` being `DASK`, `DUCKDB`

        Returns:

        Notes:
            - Integers are always interpreted as positions
            - Strings are always interpreted as column names.

            In contrast with Polars, pandas allows non-string column names.
            If you don't know whether the column name you're trying to extract

        Optionally leaves identifiers set.

        This function is useful to massage a DataFrame into a format where one or more
        columns are identifier variables (index) while all other columns, considered
        measured variables (on), are "unpivoted" to the row axis leaving just
        two non-identifier columns, 'variable' and 'value'.

        Arguments:
            on: Column(s) to use as values variables; if `on` is empty all columns that
                are not in `index` will be used.
            index: Column(s) to use as identifier variables.
            variable_name: Name to give to the `variable` column. Defaults to "variable".
            value_name: Name to give to the `value` column. Defaults to "value".

        Returns:
            The unpivoted LazyFrame.

        Notes:
            If you're coming from pandas, this is similar to `pandas.DataFrame.melt`,
            but with `index` replacing `id_vars` and `on` replacing `value_vars`.
            In other frameworks, you might know this operation as `pivot_longer`.
