Borrower link to Membership

I've just started using the library module and was disappointed to see that the borrower tab is not linked to the membership module. It would be great to see this in a future version. Then it would be possible to do a few things:
* Print off a list of overdue materials with names & phone numbers
* Send out e-mails to borrowers of overdue materials
* Automatically keep track of a borrower's borrowing history (instead of having to manually enter the number of times an item was borrowed)... maybe even see all of the materials a person has borrowed.
It might also be nice to be able to generate a report on how many times a particular item was borrowed and one that lists the items by popularity (ie. times borrowed) so that the librarians can better predict the kinds of new materials to purchase.
