[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Patron Buckets

[Rogan Hamby]

There are lots of scenarios that individually happen rarely but
cumulatively aren't rare at all.  For example, Miskatonic Public Library's
board has changed circ policies so that fines are assessed differently.
Now their Juvenile group has to be split into Juveniles and YA with new
circ rules based on their ages.
