I slightly disagree. I get a weekly paycheck that has more than 2
transactions, but it frequently has the same amount and distribution of funds
from one week to the next. I frequently duplicate the previous week's entry,
update the date, and commit, all in single line mode. I can understand why you
might want to always force multi-line mode for multi-split transactions, but I
still contend it isn't always necessary.
