Jam value information #37

As we think about integrating the output of census-data-downloader to be an input into the census-data-aggregator, is it possible to include the jam value information in the headers of the processed files?

For example, in the household income table the column name "10_and_under" would be replaced with "2499_10." The convention of having the headers in units of 1000s makes the 2499 representation a bit awkward though.

update: I don't think what I initially proposed is necessary anymore. The headers for the lowest and highest bins are fine. A user could optionally provide a jam value for the census aggregator to give a more informative NA for the median if it lives in the lowest/highest bin. However, in the tables that may be downloaded by the downloader that represent medians themselves, the jam values may show up. I think this is connected to the *** annotations, but I need to investigate further.
