Research direction

Start by reading issue #199 and locating the code that handles weight sets and creates their columns. Determine how a weight name should be supplied and retained when another set overwrites it. Done means the overwritten weights appear in an appropriately named column, with tests covering the behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

So that when it gets overwritten with another set of weights (#199) it's added as an appropriately-named column.
