To be sure, as an adjective, "split" pretty reliably indicates
the accounting sense.

As a noun it likely means the GNC-internal one -- but only when
coming from someone who's aware of the distinction.  AFAIK,
that's a GnuCash-specific usage.

No problem; I do *not* mean this as a criticism, however mild.

My main point was to give a heads-up to newish users (or at
least, newish list subscribers) that they might see the term
"split" used in a sense they weren't expecting; and if so, how to
make heads or tails (umm, debits or credits? :-) ) of what's
being said.
