[R] column name handling and long labels

[Werner Wernersen]

Thank you very much, Henrique! The comment function is
exactly what I was looking for.

Regarding 1) why example was bad: The column names
don't follow an easy pattern but are more like "s8v2",
"s12v3", "s6v1" etc. 

Kind regards,
  Werner
