If this is useful for your intended use of this function, feel free to add
this. However, for my purposes, the number of specialists is not known at
this point. It is deduced later from the luxury need.

It is possible to solve the issue in the code by looking at the number of
content people versus specialists, and assume that when taking a
specialist from the ranks of the unhappy, this counts towards fulfilling
the need of HAPPY_COST number of luxuries. I have code for this in my
quick & dirty CM, if your are interested.
