[GNC] Split ownership

[Adrien Monteleone]

Sounds reasonable.

You'd need a liability (or contra-asset) account to handle the parts of 
the transaction to facilitate owing and paying your friend.

This is similar to the example in the Guide (or is it the Wiki) 
concerning shared household expenses or trip expenses between 
roommates/friends.

Regards,
Adrien
