two children account may have the same name

[Michael Ferrara]

I frequently overload top level accounts with the same name.  The only
requirement is that the accounts are of different type.  It  allows for
account selection from the ledger in fewer keystrokes. For example,
entering both assets and interest income from the same bank statement.
