To make things worse, the GnuCash source code uses "split" in yet
another way: each of a transaction's entries is stored in a data
structure called a split. Thus, what in accounting terms is a
simple, un-split transaction, is stored in GnuCash as two
"splits" (one each for the debit and credit entries).
One often has to stop and think about whether someone means
"split" in the GnuCash-internal or the formal accounting sense
