Jonathan, I believe moving this to the circulation rules is at odds with what
Sheila is looking for. The only way to make both work will be to add a new
system preference to choose which circulation rule to select. Something like
RefundLostOnReturnControl. The options could be CheckinLibrary, PatronLibrary,
ItemHomeBranch and ItemHoldingbranch.

What do you think? Given this, should we still make this a circulation rule
setting?
