Hi Fiona, that matches what a lot of libraries in Germany do actually.  I've a
'hack' in fines.pl that does a bit of this, but I've failed at imagining how we
could implement this properly, especially the GUI. Probably a separate page?
Pop-up from the issuingrules table?

Maybe as it's a bit of a different problem (not about fine charging interval
but about the actual fine) we should continue discussion on a different bug?
