I'm not sure how securities can be used for invoices.  Anyway, in my
case we need to split up some amount of money among seven people
(members of a condominium).  So I thought it would be nice to use the
original amount as unit price and 1/7 as quantity.

I think the legally correct way would be to used 143‰ (per mille)
instead of the exact fraction.

Though, I must say that it's a cool feature that GnuCash uses exact
fractions internally.  And thanks to everybody who works on this.
