Yes, I do agree that this would be preferable (and make the code much
cleaner!).  However, it requires changes to the layout of the DB file,
specificially CHUNK_FIELD_NAMES.  I wanted to avoid this since it
requires
 - having incompatibilities between various versions of DB
 - hacking db-tools to produce the new format
 - hacking other UI components of pilot-db to allow editing of the label
   field.
