OK. Interesting for librarian, indeed. Would be great to have it also on
borrower detail page.

With Koha brand new REST API... Or you can alternatively do it JS but adding
some tests to guaranty consistency.

I even see in my crystal ball GetAge() modified to delegate to MySQL the age
calculation for stability reason. For example:

  SELECT TIMESTAMPDIFF(YEAR,'2010-09-10',CURDATE())
