infinitely-reproducible items or the issuing of login tokens for e-documents.

If we want to be massively general, yes, but if it is basically a type of
infinite item, do we need the flag?

Don't we already have that, with the logs?  It feels like the unsolved part is
the auto-returning of "checked out" items.
