It does not exist, you would have to develop it, but it would be
really challenging -- what do you do about transaction account
matching to map the qif names to gnucash accounts?

Well...

I've been working on a qif importer re-write in C.  But I haven't
finished it.  However I do not have any plans to support this feature
myself, either, because IMHO it's just too potentially problematic.
There are just too many potential ambiguities.
