Partner wants to decrease the length of loans when *any* items are checked out.

Setting 'decreaseLoahHighHolds' system preferences as follows:

+-------------------------------+------------+
| variable                      | value      |
+-------------------------------+------------+
| decreaseLoanHighHolds         | 1 [Enable] | 
| decreaseLoanHighHoldsDuration | 14         |
| decreaseLoanHighHoldsValue    | 0          |
+-------------------------------+------------+

This shows on the system preferences screen as follows:

[Enable] the reduction of loan period to  [14] days for items with more than
[0]  holds.

Checking out *any* item (regardless of whether or not it has holds) will
trigger the following message:

  High demand item. Loan period shortened to 0 days (due ). Check out anyway?

According to the system preferences description, this should not be triggered
unless there is at least one hold. According to the partner, if
decreaseLoanHighHoldsValue is set to 1, High Holds isn't triggered until an
item is checked out that has two holds placed, meaning that it's impossible to
trigger at exactly 1 hold placed.

when decreaseLoanHighHoldsValue is 0, the loan period is *not* shortened, even
though the message pops up.

The description of decreaseLoanHighHoldsDuration is also misleading:

[Enable] the reduction of loan period to  [decreaseLoanHighHoldsDuration] days

should read

[Enable] the reduction of loan period by [decreaseLoanHighHoldsDuration] days

because, the loan period is not set to a constant
'decreaseLoanHighHoldsDuration' days; rather it is decremented by that amount.
