Maybe we should change that: Instead of using operator+() and operator-() we 
could have a balance class with functions credit() and debit(). It would have 
subclasses AssetBalance, LiabilityBalance, and EquityBalance (or maybe follow 
the European model and just do ActiveBalance and PassiveBalance) whose 
overrides of credit() and debit() would do The Right Thing.
