report wallet SOL balance as a fake token account

[mschneider]

Below is an example I wrote. We use this as a convenience method to populate drop downs for deposits.

I'd like to add a method to User for returning all of their token accounts.

What's the benefit of returning SOL balance as wrapped SOL balance? Isn't it a bit misleading?

[mschneider]

It is indeed misleading, that's why the method has such a clunky name. But it is actually super helpful for application development as you can pretty much hide the whole SOL wrap & unwrap from the react frontend code this way. All the logic to actually handle wrap & unwrap would lie in easy-spl, and the ui code can just call transfer or getBalance etc.
