Indeed, it is.

| accounts). Money transferred between these acounts would not show up.

An interested party could make good use of defined Scheduled Transactions
to not only provide context for past recurring cashflows, but also to
project future cashflows.

I would do this myself, but I'm at my limit as it is; unless someone steps
up really soon this report will not be in 1.8.0 [maybe 1.8.x, however].

Excellent!
