New methods iat and at to access single value in DataFrame/Series #349
Description
Regarding your point on:
Should I be using a different method just to get the single value of cell X/Y?
I think we need to add a new method for that. Something like [iat](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.iat.html) in pandas. I'll create an issue for it.

Great news. Could you add an "at" method too, which is the same but uses named row and column labels?

Unfortuately I don't have the skillset to contribute. After years as a front-end dev who just used jQuery I've only spent a few months learning more modern js. I'm hoping to be in a position to do so at some point in the future though.

No worries at all 👏🏻Thanks for using the library and taking out time to give us feedback. It is also a very important contribution.
