Could an option be introduced for holiday closures where the due date is set to
be the next matching open day?  (Matching means Monday = Monday, Tuesday =
Tuesday etc.)

There are currently 3 options with holiday dates using useDaysMode syspref:

1)  Circulation rules only = no change to expected due date
2)  Calendar to push the due date to next open day = due date changed to next
open day 
3)  Calendar to skip all days the library is closed = extra days - equivalent
to closed days - added 

We use 21 days as our loan period.  When a due date falls on a closed day, we
would like to offer a loan on the next matching open day - e.g. a 28 day loan,
not a 22 day loan.  

If an item is borrowed on Monday 1st June, it would ordinarily be due on Monday
22nd June (21 day loan as standard).  If a library was closed on Monday 22nd
June, we would like the due date to be Monday 29th June (28 day loan) - not
Tuesday 23rd June (22 day loan).

This isn't just a 7 day push on because of Christmas holidays.  For example:  

Items borrowed on Friday 4th December should be due back Friday 25th December.
Friday 25th December is closed.  A 28 day loan would cause the items to be due
back on Friday 1st January.  Friday 1st January is closed.  We would like the
loan to be pushed to 35 days to the next Friday that the library is open =
Friday 8th January, even though the library is open for business on
non-matching (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc) days between those dates.
