[moneydance] "show other side" vs splits and loans

I'm having several problems all related to "show other side". I think these 
are bugs and I'm ready to enter them in trac, but since I'm new to MD I 
thought it prudent to ask others first.

1) In a loan account, "show other side" isn't available. Since the loan 
account register is read-only, this means all corrections needed force me 
to track down the other side manually.

2) If a transaction has splits, then "show other side" shows the other side 
of the first split, no choice.

3) With the split window open, "show other side" on any split just goes 
back to the register for the transaction and doesn't go to the other side 
at all.

4) When you do find the other side of a split (say in an expense account / 
category), doing a "show other side" opens the register for the account in 
the first split, which isn't even related to "this side", instead of to the 
account for the transaction.

Is there any reason I shouldn't trac all of these? I'd say that 3 and 4 are 
defects and 1 and 2 are feature requests, though a case could be made that 
they are all defects.
