 A name is drawn on its first read, and lives in the category binding it: any field of the
 category reads it, and a record's columns read one pick. Each render of the category picks
 anew, and so does each bare reference to it. A name a `repeat` binds picks again on every
 iteration, and one bound outside the repeat keeps its pick on every line.
