This was discussed on gnucash-devel last year and there was no 
consensus that it was a good idea.  See, for example, the thread 
starting with 
<https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2007-March/020071.html>. 
Since it is a significant change it probably won't get done unless 
there is a consensus that it is an improvement.
