Oh, I was just referring to modification by hand, i.e., you shouldn't
be able to edit the 'debit/credit' amounts in a multi-split transaction,
unless we want to have a dialog asking the user how to balance the
transaction, because otherwise it's unclear what the effect of the
edit should be.
As far as duplication/copying goes, there's no problem doing that in
single-line mode because there is no question about what the result
of duplicating/copying needs to be.
