Could a new syspref be added to Koha that would allow a user to place a reservation/hold if the user is restricted? 

We have a lot of students who on placement, and only come on-campus occasionally.They tend to return and collect books at the same time during their visits to campus. If they have a  restriction on their account (because they need to return an overdue item) then this stops them from requesting a hold at the same time, and forces them to come on-campus twice (once to return the book, and then next time to collect their reservations) when ideally it could be done with one visit.

Maybe this could be turned into a flag on the new patron restrictions table. So anytime you add a new restriction, you get to choose if it should block holds or not.
