The OFX importer uses Bayesian matching heuristics so it'll notice
that "ATM/123", "Main", and "Banch"[sic] all have a high probability
to point to some particular account.  Unfortunately the QIF importer
still uses an older UI and isn't (yet) integrated into the generic
importer.  So..  If you import OFX it works well.  When you import
QIF it uses the full string.
