Descriptive Feature Names #55

Hello,

the current implementation of OpenFE is really nice for automating the feature generation process, however the constructed features have generic names such as autoFE_f_01 autoFE_f_02 and so on.

Incorporating this step into a modelling pipeline usual has beneficial results for the resulting performance, but it hurts explainability of the model. I tried to look into the documentation and the source code but I don't think the library supports this feature yet.

I believe it would be a nice addition to have more descriptive feature names that describe how the synthetic features have been generated.

For example if a synthetic feature comes from the addition of two raw features then the synthetic feature name could follow the pattern: Feature_1_plus_Feature_2
