Originally, gnucash stored only the bank code and account number. Then at some 
point during aqbanking (1, probably), the "unique id" for each of aqbanking's 
account were introduced. I implemented this as a new mapping (with higher 
priority), because it looked as if this would be "even more unique" than bank 
code + account number. However, over time it turned out the original mapping 
was probably sufficient. Eventually I think gnucash should probably stop 
using the "aqbanking uid" and instead only use the conventional bank code + 
account number.
