[GNC] Should GNUCash allow a split to reference the same account twice

[Amish]

Yes, I use this feature a lot when purchasing bonds in bond market.

In my case, first I deposit money say 2500 with broker, then I buy bonds 
say worth 2100 (21 bonds worth 100 each) and by end of the day I get 400 
back in my bank.

This I note down (simplify) as a single transaction with 3 splits:
Foo bank  - Debit 2500
Bond (as stock) - Credit 21 units worth 100 each
Foo bank - Credit 400

Please do not disable this feature.

Thanks and regards.
