--- Comment #1 from Ian Walls <koha.sekjal at gmail.com> ---
Is the goal to record that a specific person 'used' something, but didn't
borrow it? This kind of thing could have wide-reaching implications for all
kinds of statistical tracking, like door counts or computer usage.

Item types don't have the same structure as patron types, though.  Patron types
are two-level, with the 'super types' being Adult, Child, Organisation,
Professional, Staff and Statistical, and each patron category being an exemplar
of one of those types.  Item types are flat, which would mean we'd need to set
some kind of flag at the item type level to indicate that it's "statistical" or
not.

There would also be the issue of creating biblio records for these items, and
keeping them properly segregated from the actual bibliographic materials the
library lends.

I think maybe the thing do to is create a way for Koha to record arbitrary
stats, linkable to various objects like patrons and items, that can be called
from anywhere in the system.
