but if i delete X, then the entire transaction should go away,
including all of the splits. This is the action I was speaking of.

yuk.

this is exactly what I was asking for. If I were to delete the
Expense:Clothing part of the transaction, deleting the entire thing
would not have been right (however, should I have been immediately
placed back on the now half-done split and forced to finish or
re-record it? I think so). However, deleting the check from the
checkbook would require that both splits be nuked immediately.
