Bug Description

EG 2.10

The Standing Penalties docs currently state:
CIRC - Users cannot check out items

But that only seems to be true for Pre 2.3 systems. After 2.3 a new FULFILL block was added that handles checkouts that fulfill a hold request.

It isn't clear in the docs that CIRC block does not also apply to checking out items that fulfill a hold.

It may be implied in a way, but I don't think it is obvious.

I think we are far enough away from the 2.3 release so that it doesn't need to be called out in the docs.

I found this comment about the FULFILL Block

1483 # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1484 # A hold FULFILL block is just like a CIRC block, except that FULFILL only
1485 # affects copies that will fulfill holds and CIRC affects all other copies.
1486 # If blocks exists, bail, push Events onto the event pile, and return true.
1487 # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm also wondering if the default staff blocks should be updated to include FULFILL wherever CIRC also exists. STAFF_C, STAFF_CH, STAFF_CR, STAFF_CHR etc. If not for existing systems then at least for new installs. I'll open a new bug for that.
