This is exactly the problem. Perhaps there should be a account-get-base-type
which returns one of asset, liability, income, expense or equity. Or
predicates (like account-is-asset?). Instead of each report trying to work
it out for themselves.

There already are account-is-stock?, account-has-shares? and
account-is-inc-exp?.
