[GNC] Why does Reconciled field auto mark "n" & "c"

[David Cousens]

Fran,

If during the import GnuCash matches an imported transaction to an existing
transaction depending on how close the match is it is marked for update,
(U+C) checked or not to be imported, (C) checked in the import matcher
window. Otherwise the A checkbox is checked and the transaction is marked
for import. (These were previously U+R and R columns in the matcher).

When U+C is checked information in the matching record (amount and value of
the matching split,imbalance, description, notes) is updated from the
imported record and the matching record 's reconcile status is set as as
cleared ('c') and the reconciliation date of the matched GnuCash transaction
record is set to today if it's reconcile status is not reconciled (i.e. it
is not 'y'). 

If C is checked in the matcher, the reconcile status of the matching
transaction in GnuCash is set as 'c' 
and the reconcile date is set to today on import if the matching transaction
is not reconciled (i.e. reconcile status is not 'y') and any online ID in
the imported record is copied to the matched record when imported.

If A is checked in the import matcher, the record is imported, the reconcile
status is also set to 'c' and the reconcile date to today.

The rationale is that in importing a rceord from the internal source which
matches an existing record you have confirmed that the record exists both in
your records and the banks records (you have not confirmed that the balance
for the accounts match however with this reord included so it is not marked
as reconciled).
