I have a message from JohnR that I think may have been intended for this list. It makes sense to me for other people to see it and hear him before I represent my case on immutability. === I think account types *are* immutable in formal accounting, but I'm open to changing my mind if you can suggest some use-cases where it's allowed. To ensure that we're talking about the same thing, the account types are: Asset, with subclasses Bank, Stock, Mutual Fund, and Cash; Liability, with subclass Credit Card; Equity, with subclasses Income and Expense; and special types that are for GnuCash's internal use Payable, Receivable, and Trading. There are some others declared in the code that aren't exposed anywhere so they don't count. I'll stipulate that Stock and Mutual Fund behave exactly the same, as do Bank and Cash, so those four should be collapsed into two.
