Sheesh.  I would have presumed that all those things stuck together
would have a reasonable chance of stepping on each other's toes...

OK.  For now, what I'm doing is pretty straightforward, so I can get
by with substantial simplifications.  There's a whole lot of work left
to do before the GNOME/Guile version of GnuCash is ready for prime
time, so I'm trying not to make any one part too complex these days
(though I feel like I'm not always succeeding :> ).

Thanks
