[GNC] Does CSV importer work with foreign currencies?

With the current CSV Importer interface, it is not immediately clear to me
what exchange rate would be used for the conversion of an individual
imported transaction to the base currency. 

My first assumption would be that the imported values are simply numbers and
assume the currency of the account only once they have been imported to a
foreign-currency account, as if the same numbers had been manually entered;
and that the exchange rate used to calculate the base-currency amount on the
other side of any one transaction is whatever prevails in the Price Database
on the date of that transaction.

If that is how it is supposed to work then the existing CSV importer GUI is
sufficient, but if I have got this wrong then I and other users could use
some help there :-)
