New issue 175: Support multiple accounts in one balance statement

Yuchen Ying:

I'm building a CD ladder and the balance statement at the end of each month is getting longer. It would be great if I can have multiple accounts in one balance statement.

E.g. something like this would be great:

```
2017-01-01 balance
Assets:Cash:CD01 xx USD
Assets:Cash:CD02 xx USD
```

+1 from me for this option. This would be useful for me as well.

As for syntax, in my day-job programming language, we have syntactic sugar where you can separate the common part of a list of similar statements with a semicolon, so 

```

METHODNAME param1;

METHODNAME param2;

METHODNAME param3;

```

could be written as:

```

METHODNAME:

  param1,

  param2,

  param3;

```

Perhaps something like this would make sense to disambiguate the directives for this feature as well.
