This would be an absolute game-changer of an enhancement and would significantly alleviate a ton of work in excel spreadsheets handling prepaids and accruals. Ive been meaning to post this exact thing, and i hope they are listening to you. Literally if i could pick one enhancement it would be this.
My solution for the "out-of-balance by period" issue that would arise is this: make a new control account that handles any inter-period accruals and have them occur on the back-end, similar to the way intercompany entries work.

In GL Distribution you assign a date to each row, and when the invoice is posted the Inter-Period entries happen for you.
