Tables: Labeling/Naming Columns?

Is there a way to label columns in a table so that you can refer to them by column label in a rule? I notice my labeled columns don't keep the labels when exported to CSV.

    That makes it a bit inconvenient but then building a relational database is probably a bit of a stretch.

    In the table tutorial in the Cookbook section they state that you can use the column number in the expression as long as you put it between quotes and spell it correctly. However using the numbers seems safer to me.

    I'm used to programming relational DB tables and being able to query by table, column, row, etc. But making a table with 10 or more columns of integers and then having to go out of the prototype view and into a table view to figure out which column you want to reference is going to be a pain, I think. Maybe I'm hoping for more complexity than is going to be manageable with GS.

    What do "hints" and "level1" represent here?
