On a related note, would it be possible to lift this restriction of a
single null amount per entry (possibly with a command-line option)?

It would allow the following pattern: when you split your ledger into
several files (say, one per year), have a transaction at the beginning of
each file which checks/sets the amount of assets and liabilities (against
equity). 

That way, you can use those files separately (in that case, "Assets  =
$1,000" would set the amount) or include them in a general ledger (in that
case, it merely checks that everything balances well --- this is currently
not possible, because both Assets and Equity are null transactions).
