I've seen no patches that "fix this problem"..  But changing accounts to
hold multiple currencies would be extremely problematic given the
current architecture.  You would have to modify every Split to include a
commodity instead of making the current assumption that all Splits into
an account share a currency (the account currency).

Still, show me a patch and then we can discuss its merits.  Ideas
without patches are more readily ignored, because, well, *I* am not
going to implement it....
