[GNC] Stock Split assistant

I have found that the "Shares" field in the Stock Split Details window
parses the entry according to my numbers preference for currency value
entries. For example, entering 4000 is parsed into 40.00. (My preferences
in General -> Numbers is set to automatic decimal point.) If I enter "40"
without a decimal point the transaction is treated as a no-op because the
stock is set up to only trade in whole numbers. 40 is parsed as 0.4.

Anyway, I spent some time thinking the stock split tool did not work. Just
a data entry issue. Apple and Tesla are doing forward splits at the end of
the month so the stock split tool is useful.
