That's great. I was just afraid you wouldn't be able to do it
quickly that way. It is certainly beneficial for someone other
than me to be familiar with that code.

The defaults hardcoded in C++ are intended only as plausible
values for entities not present in 'configurable_settings.xml',
although generally it's better for all of them to be specified
in that file.

In practice, I think a customized 'configurable_settings.xml'
is always distributed. Any values in that file should override
the defaults hardcoded in C++. IOW, if the new calculation-
summary-column-selections entity is changed, then saving the
file should change only that entity.

I'm sure that problem can be solved. I won't be able to look at
it until tomorrow morning, though--not before noon UTC, that is.
