The downside here is that I don't believe copy-level holds take
precedence over other hold types.  However, you could use the Top of
Queue (cut-in-line) function on a given hold.  In 2.1, you can also
set up hold priority based on user profile.

I think notifying the person with the item is one of the big features
of recalls.  I totally missed that this was implemented in 2.1.  dbs++
