*Feature Request*

Explanation:

I have a store credit card (the parent account / issuer)

Normal every day charges are placed against the account and charged x% interest, just like any other (revolving) credit card account.

From time to time certain purchases qualify for 'no interest, special financing' when the purchase is paid off before n months from purchase date. During this time frame the interest is still accrued against the balance of the purchase and 'capitalized(?)' if the special purchase is not paid off by the due date.




Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
I would like it so that:
1). I can have a parent account (issuer/store)
   a). I can have a default sub-account (revolving?)
   b). be queried 'is this a special purchase', and if yes, be able to create a sub-account on the fly.

2). All sub-accounts would be 'paid' by the parent account by way of a splits like mechanism

The primary values to this would be making the assets & liabilities summary more accurate and recording transactions for these accounts slightly less evil.

I have tried a couple of work-arounds, but all seem just push the evil around.
