But "scrub" does more than just find unbalanced transactions.  It
actually balances them by adding an additional split.  And orphan
splits (those without an account) are changed to put them in an
"orphanage" account.  

IMO we need to use a term like "cleanup" or "repair" that keeps the
meaning that this is a beneficial but *not* idempotent operation. "Find"
implies that nothing is actually done, which isn't the case.
