I'm not sure if I agree with Craig as I do what Martin does as well.
However, let's say that Craig's "leaves only" approach is the better one.
Since ledger doesn't enforce that, how so I find all the transactions in which
an amount is assigned to a non-leaf node without having to search for all 
transactions
with two or more white space characters after each intermediate node's name?
(As I have many years worth of transactions, that is not an easy/trivial task,
so I'm curious for something to help if I go 'leaves only')
Thanks!
