Additions to Coding Guidelines
- Use of koha.preference - finalize wording, amend for TT plugins in general?
  - HTML7: use system preference TT plugin
    When adding a system preference check, use the Koha.Preference() method, provided by the Koha TT plugin, in the TT template. This should be used instead of passing a variable to a TT template from a Perl script using the C4::Context->preference() method.
- CLI scripts - add parts we agree on to coding guidelines?
  - Pod::Usage
  - GetOpt::Long
  - the -c parameter to confirm the changes
  - call pod2usage if something wrong with the parameters
  - add the POD at the end of the file
