Feature request: simple accruals #180

I realise this isn't a full bookkeeping or accounting system, but some very basic support for accruals would be great.

I imagine just having an optional end date for a transaction so that it can be spread over several months. E.g. car insurance spread over a year, or a bulk order of coffee spread over two or three months.

Interesting, I'd not considered something like that. Typically if I have a transaction which accrues over multiple months (such as car insurance) I will take a view of the budget over multiple months to get the average spend and use that data.

I may not get a chance to work on this right away, but if someone were to contribute some changes I'd be happy to review them.
