Its a true closed, and works a lot like Other/Custom does. We have
some customers who use Other/Custom for other things that wanted a
true closed, since they couldn't use other/custom to mean closed.
Also, a big difference is a closed account with additional non-applied
charges will get a final "closing" invoice, with the additional charges.
Closed/Other will not.
