Hmm, ok, I think I'm convinced.

We're still living in a MARC centric world, so there's no reason not to add it.

And I doubt Koha will ever use the 001 instead of the 999$c, so even if it
isn't ideal from a MARC perspective, it does seem like a practical move. 

I know I hate using ExtractValue in databases in the hundreds of thousands or
millions of records O_O.
