Agreed, and also someone might want to create a new SX with a start date
in the past. When I was changing my 2011-2017 accounting data from dBASE
to GnuCash, I used SX for a number of monthly accruals to reduce the
amount of typing I had to do.

I could also see creating a stream of transactions in the past if I got
an annual bill for some service and realized I'd forgotten to enter the
monthly amortization accruals.

I concur very strongly on the fist point, and somewhat more mildly on
the second. :-)
