Hmm. On the surface, this could be kinda hard, as the "quickfill" data
is built automatically from previously entered data.

On te other hand, if you ran the system for a while in the new year,
before closing the books, then you'd build up a repository of
transactions from which to work ... 

I promise to think about this feature ...
