Well, perhaps the SplitLedger, as it stands, still needs a little
refactoring.  For example, it would be nice if I could have a
SplitLedger and an EntryLedger that share the same color scheme.

My point is that the SplitLedger appears to be more than just "Layout
and Data Representation of Splits".  It seems to contain a lot of
other stuff, too, which I would think can be abstracted into one more
layer.
