Let a meter stand on its own `Node::Meter` had no spelling, because `meter` is a setting on `Row` and on `Cell` and one name cannot mean both. goingson's task drawer wants one twice -- subtask completion, and time against estimate -- and MNW's `crossover_meter` was a supplier that existed only because this did not. The member is `proportion`, named for `RowPart::Proportion`, which is where `Row::meter` already puts one. Its body accretes onto the `Meter` the way `badge`'s accretes onto a `Tag`.
