Seriously. It's a little late for me, but if I were starting out, knowing what I know now, that is exactly what I would do. It will save you some migraines filling out airline apps.
It's not that unusual for people to have a separate column to separate one from the other. The most common title I've heard is "Part 1 PIC" to differentiate "logged" PIC from "acting as" (Part 61)PIC. The problem, of course, is that "Part 1" PIC includes safety pilot time. But the concept works even though the defiitions might not.
