Comment 8 for bug 1017990

Well, you're supposed to run open-ils.circ.title_hold.is_possible before doing open-ils.circ.holds.create, but that said using open-ils.circ.holds.test_and_create.batch is better.

I would be for deprecating open-ils.circ.holds.create in 2.10, and removing it in the next release.

A non-batch version of open-ils.circ.holds.test_and_create.batch might be good to add when you only want to do 1 hold at a time. The batch on the end may throw some developers who don't realize that a list with one entry is still a batch.

I think open-ils.circ.title_hold.is_possible should definitely stay. There are times I've used that method to find out if holds can be placed or not without actually creating the hold.
