Unfortunately I don't believe the second part is true.. The QIF importer
uses names, not GUIDs, so it wont notice that you moved "Foo" to
"Assets:Current Assets:Foo".  You'll still have to properly re-map the
QIF-Account to GNC Account on the next import.  (The same is true for
your Category and Payee/Memo mappings).
