idea: emulate fair-share calculation for a given association or hierarchy #829

While presenting at HPSF this week, I got an interesting question from an attendee about how often we tinker with our various priority factors if we don't like how job priorities are being calculated. While the answer was pretty straightforward (meaning that we don't adjust the weights for these factors very often), it did get me thinking about something sort of related... I wonder if it would be useful to be able to simulate how fair-share would be calculated for a hierarchy of banks and associations. Something like loading a sample YAML or JSON file of the relevant association and bank information needed to calculate fair-share and just outputting what the fair-share values would be for the hierarchy.

Along those same lines, this could feed into a simulator for calculating job priorities for certain associations. That is probably an idea worth its own issue, however.
