[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Lost item handling

In researching some options for handling our billing of lost items, I 
was delighted to find the 'circ.void_overdue_on_lost' setting.

I was going to develop a couple similar options, such as:
  'circ.void_lost_on_checkin', to remove lost charges if an item was 
subsequently returned (perhaps based on date)
  'circ.restore_overdue_on_lost_return', to restore the overdue charges 
that are voided by 'circ.void_overdue_on_lost'
  'circ.lost_immediately_available', to avoid having lost items travel 
to their owning location before being circulated again

Somewhat thinking out loud there, but I 1.) wanted to see if I was 
duplicating anyone's efforts, 2.) find out if there were other settings 
I just hadn't discovered yet, and 3.) make sure that the 
org_unit_settings were the preferred method to implement these sort of 
features.
