--- Comment #1 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
I know some libraries use the cart feature to collect and send information to
the library. I believe this might be the use case the library had in mind here?

If so, it's not as easy as it might seem. The number of items a user can check
out, can depend on a lot of different factors. 

The maximum number of checkouts can depend on home library/holding library/the
patron's library/the library they are checked out at. It can also depend on the
item types of items. So it could change depending on the contents already added
to the cart.

Also, it could depend on how many the patron has already added to the cart. 

The cart is available to users before login, so you'd have to enforce login to
enforce the limits or force the user to remove some before being able to send
it.

If the user wants to use the cart for placing holds or just to create a list of
items for later, an enforced limit could pose a problem.
