> 1. give libraries the option of blocking deleting items with checked out status
> 2. close the circulation record when a checked out item is deleted

I think that the default behavior should be to block the deletion in this case - in no event should there be an open circulation on a deleted item. Any options supplied should be concerned with whether to allow an operator to override and and mark the loan as returned before deleting the item. There is an edge case to consider. If a cataloger has an item in hand to weed and delete that is still marked as out on loan, a library may want to waive all overdue fines as (apparently) the item was not properly marked as returned in Evergreen.
