[GNC] Proposed change of "U+R" and "R" in the Import main matcher.

[David T.]

Building on Christopher's comment, my experience was that if a transaction to be imported has the flag set, Gnucash imports that value. I'm not sure the exact mechanics or heuristics (and it was a long time ago that I migrated to Gnucash), but I know I didn't have to reconcile my imported transactions all over again. 

This is another reason (probably a significant one) not to tinker with the reconcile values, BTW. Someone would have to rewrite every incoming transaction to use 'R' instead of the 'Y' from other apps.

The qif importer does have ability to set a split's reconciliation status.
The qif C line may specify * cleared X reconciled ! budgeted (unused by
importer) transactions, but I guess only quicken exports should have this
information.
