Michael, no request for added features to GC was intended. I was just

Understood.
But I come to this from a different position. When I took over as
treasurer (of the first organization) I asked the lawyer/accountant on
the board SHOULD I create custom reports in gnucash. See, then recently
retired from decades in the cypher mines, although LISP not really one
of the languages I ever wrote in, I could read it well enough << well,
could READ most any of the common languages** >> and scheme is a LISP
dialect. In other words, something I could have done.
He told me flat out no, that almost any accountant would want just the
raw reports and would then use his or her favorite full power editor to
add annotations, text, and all the pretty printing details.

the special features a non-profit org needs built in. In other words, a
"cheat".
