I find biblioitems.itemtype confusing.
In discussions about itemtypes, I often had to ask which kind of itemtype it
was about : "biblioitems.itemtype" or "items.itype".

It is an other issue, but zebra conf is confusing too, as in MARC21 the fields
mapped with "biblioitems.itemtype" and "items.itype" are mapped with the same
zebra index, whereas in UNIMARC 2 different indexes are used
(biblioitems.itemtype = 099t = ccode index ; items.itype = 995r = itype index)
I think it is not normal, and should be fixed in an other bug.

biblioitems.itemtype is not about item, but about document, so what I would
propose here is to rename biblioitems.itemtype to biblioitems.doctype
or maybe biblioitems.kohadoctype (as document type can also be retreived from
MARC fields non specific to Koha, like 210$b in UNIMARC)

Any opinions?
