Booked Room marked as booked (ie is not available) on departure date

When a booking is made via an availability search, and the booking is completed, the availability calendar is updated to reflect that a booking has been made, so that the room cannot be booked again for the same dates.

As things currently stand, all dates from arrival date to departure date (inclusive) are marked in this way, which means that another booking which starts on the previous booking departure date cannot be made. For most use cases, the checkout time is in the morning (eg 10am) and the arrival time is in the afternoon (eg 2pm), allowing for for room cleaning etc, but bookings which have an overlap of the departure date of booking #1 and the arrival date of booking #2 are still allowed.

Interestingly, if a room booked via the usual availability search is re-assigned (manually with administrator privileges), the availability calendar is updated. The booking dates stay the same, and the availability calendar for the new room is as would be expected for the use case described above (booked from arrival date to day prior to departure date), so the code for reassignment is correct.

Could the code for booking be updated to have the same effect as re-assignment currently has?
