--- Comment #13 from David Cook <[email protected]> ---
Honest question:

Why do this:
sub guarantor {
    my $self = shift;
    my $guarantor_rs = $self->_result->guarantorid;
    return unless $guarantor_rs;
    return Koha::Patron->_new_from_dbic($gaurantor_rs);
}

Instead of this:
sub guarantor {
    my $self = shift;
    my $guarantor;
    my $guarantor_rs = $self->_result->guarantorid;
    if ($guarantor_rs){
        $guarantor = Koha::Patron->_new_from_dbic($gaurantor_rs);
    }
    return $guarantor;
}

I admit that the latter has 3 more lines than the former, but the latter is way
easier to read, easier to debug, and easier to add error-handling.

Actually, that latter should probably double-check the output of
Koha::Patron->_new_from_dbic() before returning.

I've noticed a lot of Koha code directly returning the output of a method call,
and it drives me crazy. We should do more data validation. It'll mean fewer
bugs and easier maintenance.
