It would be nice if there were a way to specify different unwanted and
mandatory fields based on patron category (rather than enforcing 1 rule for all
different patron categories).

At the moment, I see libraries putting in junk data (like '-' or 'N/A') to get
around mandatory field requirements where it doesn't make sense for certain
patron categories.

It makes sense to have a default rule for these fields, and then individual
patron categories could be overwritten with more specific rules.

I suppose the difficulty at the moment is that we don't choose a patron
category until we're already on the add patron screen. 

Maybe we should be making it a multi-step process. That would have its pros and
cons of course. 

Actually, this reminds me of another thought I've had where we could
standardize CRUD forms... but I'll open another bug for that...
