With foreign keys, you can specify what should happen if a row in
another table is changed when the first table refers to the second one.
For example, we could set it up that since a transaction split refers to
the account it is in (foreign key), if an account is deleted, all splits
referring to that account are also deleted.  Or, if the account GUID is
changed, all splits referring to that account will have the foreign key
GUID changed.
