I'm planning to implement apply receipt to specific invoice line-item for
a local customization.

Does anyone want to weigh in on whether an additional column in acc_trans
will be suitable or problematic, and if the idea is potentially acceptable
for upstream if and when patches are ready to branches/1.2 and trunk?

new column: acc_trans.invoice_lineitem_id  FK  invoice.id

Thanks.
