--- Comment #4 from Joy Nelson <joy at bywatersolutions.com> ---
Not for loan items can be overridden at the time of checkout, if needed. 
Restricted items cannot be checked out ever (if value=1).  So the intention
seems clear from the code that if you are restricting an item, you are setting
it to be 'circulation impossible'.  

I like the option of allowing for negative numbers that could be circulated,
but positive numbers that actually do restrict.   

If you look at withdrawn, you can have multiple withdrawn values and ALL of
them will prohibit circulation.  Why allow an authorised value list to be used
for restricted if you do not allow for additional values to work?  .
