Goal state: the table headers in my Table View programmatically display the human-readable CCK field labels.

1) I have a CCK content type called "product". The user can create a product, and assign it certain properties, stored in fields.
2) Products are assigned to categories using the Taxonomy system.
3) I have a view that displays all products from a category in a table, so the user can easily compare the properties of multiple similar products.

I'd like to have a header row across the top of the table that uses the human-readable field labels. I know I can hard code these into the $header array and pass it to the theme('table', $header, $rows) statement, but I'd rather write an override function that tracks down the human readable label for each field. Is there some way to achieve this, possibly by using the node_data_field_etc. fullnames that get passed to views_view_table()?

Thank you for this great module, and for this compendious knowledge-base of a community!
