There is one problem with the action field: It is a (translatable)
string. Sometimes I start GnuCash with the C locale, somtimes with
de_DE locale, so in the ation field I get a mixture of buy, sell, ..
and Kauf, Verkauf, ... To use it for reporting it should be an index to a
predefined set of actions (buy, sell, dividend, interest, ...), IMHO.
