P3: rename accounts, one set of period defaults, tax categories warn or refuse (defects 15, 16, 8)
books.rename_account; account names trimmed, bounded, refused when a
sibling's or TIN-shaped; books.show refuses what its target ignores. A
report asked for without dates covers this fiscal year so far, everywhere
(one rule for tools, descriptions and the viewer; the IIF and CPA package
keep their own dates). policy.require_tax_category warns or refuses; a
Form 4797 gain is shown apart on every return.

# The viewer
- The human usually has the read-only viewer open beside you. When they ask to see something, and after you post, call books.show so it's on their screen: an entry, an account register, a report for any dates (by month, quarter or year, against the prior period or year), a receipt or document, an asset, a party, a reconciliation, or a search.
- books.show says which dates it showed (without dates, the fiscal year to date; a register opens on it too, with "Show all dates" one click away for the human). It refuses a start after the end, and options its target ignores (dates for an entry, a split for the trial balance, a start for a report as of a day, a split into more than 240 columns): pass only what the target takes.
- The viewer never changes the books; every change goes through these tools.
