Does anything prevent me from doing this?

  2013-02-03 * Bought some shares
    Assets:ETrade:Cash        -2000 USD
    Assets:ETrade:ITOT          200 ITOT {100 USD / 2012-05-02}

Do you think it might be more robust to automatically attach the
transaction date to the lots of all positions with a cost that don't reduce
an existing position?
Now I'm not convinced I even need lots declarations anymore, other than for
RESOLVING ambiguous cases (not DECLARING them).
