Luckily we're not..

.. and this would throw off all your balances.  I *DON'T* have 0.01 going
into my paycheck for reimbursement.  It's 0.00 this week.  But next week
it will be 52.23.  And LAST week it was 623.12.  But THIS week it's 0.00.

If I put in 0.01, it would throw off my Assets:Reimbursible Expenses
Account, and also I'd have to balance that 0.01 from somewhere else, so
I'd have to add yet ANOTHER split.

I certainly don't object to a "Clean out zero-amount splits" function from
the context menu that you could use to quickly remove them from a
transaction, but no, it certainly should NOT remove a zero-amount split
automatically.
