+ * its own. column_dropdown.php renders the item hidden next to the menu; this script moves each such
+ * item into that column's real <ul> so it appears alongside "Hide this column", etc.
+ *
+ * BoardDragAndDrop.refresh() does $("#board-container").replaceWith(data) on every drag-and-drop and
+ * poll refresh, so the observer is bound to the STABLE parent of #board-container (which survives the
+ * swap), not to #board-container itself -- otherwise it would be left watching a detached node and
