+The dashboards used to come back with two properties *rewritten* rather than added:
+`<expandOthers>` flipped to `false` and `<showTotal>` was dropped altogether. Neither
+applies to a bar or column component; Salesforce was normalising settings that were never

+ColumnStacked components. They stay on the three Donut components, where they mean
+something: `<showTotal>` puts the total in the centre of the ring, and `<expandOthers>`
+decides whether the small slices grouped as "Others" can be opened. When you write a new
+component, add those two only for a donut or pie.
