Maintaining the columns and hiding them will allow us to more easily compensate
for this bug this ticket addresses, in my opinion, and will allow a feature I
am looking into developing.  

That feature is to give the added choice of showing the hidden information in a
popover while hovering over the row.  Having the columns hidden instead of
removed allows me to repurpose the data without having to invent another method
of bringing that information back to the page.

The idea is that there is a lot of clutter on the checkout rows that people
don't need all the time in the normal checkout workflow, which is why some
people turn off certain columns.  However, someone might still occasionally
need a piece of information, and they can simply hover their mouse over the row
to read it.

I have a working concept in jquery, but I think it would be a good permanent
enhancement to try.
