I agree that being able to set an account as 'no transactions'
would be useful, but I disagree that we should force this on
all users. You may think that non-leaf accounts should never
have transactions, but not everyone may agree with how you
organize your accounts.
Why should you force all your transactions into leaf accounts?
For example, I have a 'gifts' account that has a sub-category of 'xmas',
since I like to know how much I've spent on xmas gifts specifically.
Of course, I buy other gifts, but rather than having a 'non-xmas' or
'misc' account it makes perfect sense, at least to me, to put those
expenses in the non-leaf 'gifts'.
