Congratulations on the promotion, Martin.  Do you plan to solicit further 
discussion from the community on the design of the multiple dates 
functionality before diving into that?  I feel like it is critical and 
there are some nuances around edge cases that could easily be missed, 
especially since they do not affect your personal use case much.  
Specifically, the asymmetry around checks.  Without extensive experience, 
it seems that a structure somewhat like this with the Zerosum plugin would 
work best:

Assets:US:ZerosumPendingDeposits

Assets:US:Checking:GloboBank:Checking1234
Assets:US:Checking:GloboBank:Checking1234:Cleared
Assets:US:Checking:GloboBank:Checking1234:ZerosumPendingWithdrawals

Assets:US:Checking:PottersvilleCU:Checking5678
Assets:US:Checking:PottersvilleCU:Checking5678:Cleared
Assets:US:Checking:PottersvilleCU:Checking5678:ZerosumPendingWithdrawals

Here the parent accounts ("Checking1234" and "Checking5678") represent the 
funds which are safely available to spend.  Martin Michlmayr seems to have 
worked pretty extensively on this problem.  There is a related issue of 
using  Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable to consider (and how to enter 
the AP/AR transactions: I am thinking of inserting scheduled transactions 
by a cron job), but I'm not sure right now if that is really related to 
multiple dates or not.

Thanks for giving us such an excellent program!
