LocalHoldsPriority currently looks only at home library.
We would like if it could look at groups and look first at the whole group then
outside the group for priority. 
Example: MOS and TRO are in group together and LAP is not in the same group. 
MOS has the only copy of a new book and the holds are:
1. MOS patron
2. LAP patron1
3. LAP patron2
4. TRO patron

We would like it to fill:
1. MOS Patron
2. TRO Patron
3. LAP patron1
4. LAP patron2 

Assuming no additional holds were place by MOS or TRO patrons before it got to
LAP. 

Another Example might be if LAP also had a copy but the order of holds was:
1. MOS patron
2. LAP patron1
3. TRO patron
4. LAP patron2

The 2 copies could bounce around between the 3 branches taking extra courier
time (LAP to TRO has to take 3 different courier routes, LAP to MOS 2) but with
what we would like, the MOS copy would fill for MOS and then TRO (1 courier
route) then go out to the consortium and the LAP one could stay in LAP (or its
group) before going out to the consortium, potentially cutting down wait time
for branches where their group has purchased copies. 


I may have it wrong, but it looks like bug 22284 would prevent the holds from
going out of the groups? That isn't what we would want, as we still want our
items to be able to go out of the district once holds for our district have
been filled.
