The patron merge tool introduced in 18.05 is a great step, but creates some
issues. Contact information for the discarded patron is lost even when the kept
patron has null values for those fields. Merging patrons with additional patron
attributes results in a patron with multiple values for an attribute that is
not supposed to be repeatable. The screen that confirms the merge has completed
reports counts of transferred data but doesn't allow one to see details of what
was transferred from the discarded patron to the kept patron.

A good next step here would be an interface similar to what we see when merging
bibs -- the opportunity to see values for both patron records and select which
will be carried forward to the final record, at least for all fields in the
borrowers table and for additional patron attributes.
