[GNC] reconcile dates

[R. Victor Klassen]

When I write a post dated cheque and the recipient cashed it prematurely, most banks these days don’t blink an eyelash.  

While rare, this is a case where a transaction dated after the reconciliation window needs to be included.

However, I will say that I have gotten used to this little quirk and since I import most of my monthly transactions (and the financial institution knows how to cut off transactions beyond the closing date) using QFX, when I reconcile the needed transactions have already been checked and the ones after the closing have not.  Even though in a manual reconciliation you wouldn't even look at transactions after the closing date, it does no harm to include them.
