default.index
character vector or numeric vector with names, whose elements will be replaced by the corresponding elements of index.

# this gives structure(.Data = 6, .Names = "Tires") ... 
append.index <- index.rowcol(fuel.frame, "Tires", is.target.index=T) 
# ... and this gives c("Tires", "Disp.", "Mileage", "Fuel", "Type") 
named.index.rowcol(append.index, name.cols(fuel.frame))
