I think we could simplify circulation and fine rules by incorporating library
groups into the mix.

For example, I have 27 libraries, and 8 of them follow the same set of rules
that are different from the defaults.

So, what if instead of cloning these special rules to 8 different libraries
(and who knows how many other duplicated sets of rules there are), we defined a
set of rules for a library group.  If the library is part of that group, it
goes by those rules.

I don't know if we want to use the same library groups that are already defined
in the libraries and groups, or if we want to create a unique Circ rule group. 
Because, there is always the chance that one or more of the libraries in the 8
that are grouped together by affiliation or region could have a slightly
different set of rules.

However, I think rules by groups would make managing rules far less complicated
than managing groups of cloned rules.
