#' Decompose a table into two linked tables
#'
#' @description
#' `r lifecycle::badge("experimental")`
#'
#' Perform table surgery by extracting a 'parent table' from a table, linking the original table and the new table by a key, and returning both tables.
#'
#' `decompose_table()` accepts a data frame, a name for the 'ID column' that will be newly created, and the names
#' of the columns that will be extracted into the new data frame.
#'
#' It creates a 'parent table', which consists of the columns specified in the ellipsis, and a new 'ID column'.
#' Then it removes those
#' columns from the original table, which is now called the 'child table, and adds the 'ID column'.
#'
#' @param .data Data frame from which columns `...` are to be extracted.
#' @param new_id_column Name of the identifier column (primary key column) for the parent table.
#'   A column of this name is also added in 'child table'.
#' @param ... The columns to be extracted from the `.data`.
#'
#'   One or more unquoted expressions separated by commas.
#'   You can treat variable names as if they were positions, so you
#'   can use expressions like x:y to select ranges of variables.
#'
#'   The arguments in ... are automatically quoted and evaluated in a context where column names represent column positions.
#'   They also support
#'   unquoting and splicing.
#'   See vignette("programming") for an introduction to those concepts.
#'
#'   See select helpers for more details, and the examples about tidyselect helpers, such as starts_with(), everything(), ...

#' @return A named list of length two:
