investment import - new stock account

I may go looking for this one myself to propose a patch... (scary  
thought)

When I import new stock purchases, and gnucash asks me to define a  
new account for the stock, gnucash partially fills in the new account  
dialog. It puts something like: 'new stock account for"WHATEVER THE  
COMMODITY DESCRIPTION IS"' in the account name.

Since the docs specifically suggest using the ticker symbol as the  
stock account name, wouldn't it be reasonable to fill the account  
name with the ticker symbol from the commodity, and just duplicate  
the commodity description in the account description, leaving out the  
"new stock account for"?
