[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] straw poll, call numbers in check-in screen

[Jason Boyer]

Is everything in the column picker retrieved, even if it's not currently
displayed? If so, the long term solution may be to only request from the
server what will actually be shown (or the smallest superset necessary) and
only retrieve things like call numbers when they're requested. Adding a
column with this arrangement would leave some columns blank, but to see
those the items could just be scanned again. That way those that need to
save network calls can not show it, and those that prefer to display it can
take the hit, without having to bother with another setting.

Also, I'd vote for it to go back in.
