Oya definitely.  I didn't mean overwriting one of the existing ones, sorry
for the confusion.  There are 8 columns now, so the new one would make sense
either at 1 (first), 2 (first), or 9 (last).  IMHO, it makes the most sense
in column 1, but I don't know how that might disrupt current behaviors of
code importing the table.  If no one screams to the contrary, I'll stuff it
in column 1 and push the current columns 1-8 over to columns 2-9.

Not a scream, just a squeak.

Consider 9, as in last and keep it last if you add something else. It
has less useful info to most readers and thus should be in the region
the eye reads last.
