[R] row names, coulmn names

[Tom Wright]

I think what you ask isn't ideal.Each column in a dataframe should be the
same data type. While column names are stored in the first row when the df
is exported to CSV, they are not stored as columns in the data frame.
Instead the column names are stored as a separate attribute of the df. This
is why you need to use names(df) to access them, not df[1,]. I don't have
access to R right now, but I think ?attributes or ??"attributes" should
point you in the correct direction.
