Well, the problem is that in the way I was envisioning it (with
multiple views), what you'd want the account to be called might vary
with the view, but perhaps you're right, this may be too confusing.

i.e.

  Institution:MegaBank:Visa -> 0x5344A
  Institution:Fidelity:AMEX -> 0xAFEA4

and

  Liabilities:CreditCards:Visa -> 0x5344A
  Liabilities:CreditCards:AMEX -> 0xAFEA4
