I was expecting some sort of a "gold standard" usage about this issue, but
if such usage does not exist, this is what I may try :
1) create a payee called "myself"
2) automatically attribute any operation including "myself" string to this
payee
3) add a "myself" string to any operation between my own accounts, whatever
other precision I may add to the transaction (eg. : "myself from check to
savings"

Does that make any sens ? Is there any better way ?

Thanks,

Hugo
