Each line should define one split by:
* transaction-specific fields: date and description as bare minimum and
* split specific fields: account and deposit/withdrawal as bare minimum.

It sucks validating data with currency and shares in the same csv field. It
would be useful to allow importing by value. What are the thoughts about
supporting value and turning off the check for (negated) amount column when
importing a file without shares? That check seems like the only thing
preventing it.

Example 6.1. [Truncated] Sample Multi-split.csv

Date,Description,Deposit,Account
05/03/2006,Grocery Store,-45.21,Assets:Checking
,,45.21,Expenses:Groceries
