Unfortunately, this is not a practical solution.  This would have us changing
the due dates after the checkout, which means A) we would constantly have to
check back and update checkouts, and B) change the due date from something
other than what was given at time of checkout, and C) possibly have to notify
patrons of the change.

If we were going to do this, we might as well just manually change the due date
at the time of checkout, and there are obvious reasons why we are not
suggesting that.

It is preferable to have this dealt with via the rules, before the items are
checked out.
