Why it is really that hard to Right Click -> Delete Transaction Splits ?

For the record, I find quickfill and autocomplete useful about 99.99% of
the time.  For that .01% that my last transaction was a split and the new
one isn't I'm happy to spend the extra 15 seconds to clear it out..  Much
better than having to re-create some of my complicated split transactions
every time!
