[GNC] Dimensions in Accounts

[Jeff Abrahamson]

If I understand the original question, this is requesting analytical
accounting features.  This has been mentioned before on this list.  I
don't believe gnucash currently provides this, thought I'd be very happy
to be proven wrong, as it's  a feature I also would like.
