No, this does not affect adding an item with an empty date. The sub
_set_defaults_for_add will default dateaccessioned to today.
The change is in ModItemFromMarc. If the user cleared the date when modifying
an item, this change was not picked up. Now it is possible just as it already
was for replacementpricedate.

Note that we are still not 100% consistent imo. Only a little bit more ;)
If we want a default in dateaccessioned, we should better take care of that in
the interface rather than doing it invisibly in a set_defaults sub. Why should
a user understand that we fill dateaccessioned but we do not fill
replacementpricedate? But that is a topic for another report..
