Review comment:
       > If the internal metadata column names take precedence over the columns 
in the file, then that problem is not there.
   
   To be clear, I think that data columns should always take precedence over 
metadata, so that you can always read what was written. You just may not be 
able to load the optional metadata columns if they conflict. And that conflict 
_should_ handled by the source by rejecting columns at write time.
   
   For your source, you'd have the guarantee that `metadata$.*` columns do not 
conflict to satisfy your requirement, but another source may use a different 
convention.
