There are several things about the CSV imports that annoy me , and this
is one of them.  My bank doesn't provide *any* importable statement
format and I have to screen-scrape the data and import as CSV.  I
would suggest filing an enhancement in bugzilla so that this doesn't
get forgotten about.  When I get the time(?) I may work on this
myself.

File the enhancement here:
