Or, alternatively, a piece of metadata associated with each signature 
that indicates its category, which is returned as part of the results.

Advantage: conceptually cleaner than messing with the name.
Disadvantage: need to change calling methods to handle another return 
field; need to decide on categories; will eventually need to add categories.
