I'm not against moving this into a real feature rather than a possible
modification.

The use case here is a temporary shelving location to show that an item has
been placed in a display. Items are pulled from the stacks and put in a
display, the shelving location is set to DISPLAY so staff/patrons know the item
is available but not at its usual spot. If those items are checked out, we
don't want to try to get them back to the display on return -- that's too much
staff hassle and likely the display will have been changed out before the item
is returned anyway. This workaround makes it so that when the item is returned
its shelving location automatically reverts to its regular value.

This workflow does not impact the usability of CART or PROC.
