Some kind of default column hide/show template tag

[ScottEAdams]

I have no idea how this would/whether this should be implemented but thought I would throw it in the ideas pile.

At the moment I use http://bootstrap-switch.org/ to create a really nice show/hide column filter. Basically I include a template above my table that looks something like this:

<div class="column-switch">
    <div class="switch-label">Column 1</div>
    <div id="column-1-switch" class="make-switch switch-small" data-on="success"
         data-off="warning"
         data-on-label="<i class='icon-ok icon-white'></i>"
         data-off-label="<i class='icon-remove'></i>">
        <input type="checkbox" class="toggle" value="column-1"/>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="column-switch">
    <div class="switch-label">Column 2</div>
    <div id="column-2-switch" class="make-switch switch-small" data-on="success"
         data-off="warning"
         data-on-label="<i class='icon-ok icon-white'></i>"
         data-off-label="<i class='icon-remove'></i>">
        <input type="checkbox" class="toggle" value="column-2"/>
    </div>
</div>

etc, etc

Then I have in my js:

$('#column-1-switch').on('switch-change',function (e, data) {
    var value = data.value;
    changeColumnVisibility(0, value);
}).bootstrapSwitch('setState', true);

$('#column-2-switch').on('switch-change',function (e, data) {
    var value = data.value;
    changeColumnVisibility(1, value);
}).bootstrapSwitch('setState', true);

Which basically lets the user turn on/off the visibility of the column. I guess something along these lines as an optional templatetag would be handy i.e. {% datatableview_columnvisibility %}
