[Koha-devel] items.notforloan and holds

When I brought this up on IRC yesterday Galen pointed out that the
purpose of selecting "items.notforloan as itemnotforloan" would be to
differentiate from itemtypes.notforloan. That makes sense, except that
in the case of GetItemsInfo() itemtypes.notforloan isn't being pulled.

So, when opac-reserve.pl says:

if (!$itm->{'notforloan'} && !($itm->{'itemnotforloan'} > 0)){ $forloan=1; }

Is the intention that $item->{'notforloan'} be the value of
itemtypes.notforloan?
