Personally, I would be opposed to adding an option to just reverse the
labels, as it creates an incredible ambiguity.  Much as I oppose people
calling the case with their CPU/hard disk/motherboard/etc in it their
"hard disk" I think a misuse of the accounting terms would be
confusing.

Not that, BTW, I'm opposed to an open-ended field for each account
where you can customize the names of the "debit" and "credit" columns,
but a check-box that basically reads "do everything backwards from
standard accounting practice" seems to be just *asking* for confusion.

"increase" and "decrease" as standard options would be appropriate
(where "increase" increases both assets and liabilities....)
