Subject: Even more accurate handling for shifting accounting intervals
Commit: 52db5c2539413aded9a7fb855030c6a3a7a25798

Roger correctly pointed out that my code was broken for accounting
periods that shifted forwards, since
start_of_accounting_period_containing(interval_start_time) would not
be equal to interval_start_time, but potentially much earlier.
