That seems extreme. What use case would there ever be for making a
column always debit or always credit? I have a G/L system and most
money columns either don't know about Dr/Cr or else there is another
column with the G/L account which implies Dr/Cr. Where do you see a
column that would be dedicated to one or the other?
