* @brief Types for handling commoditized math.
* @brief Basic type for handling commoditized math: amount_t.
*
* This file contains two of the most basic types in Ledger: amount_t
* commodity_t, and annotated_commodity_t. Both the commodity types
* share a common base class, commodity_base_t. These four class
* together allow Ledger to handle mathematical expressions involving
* differing commodities, or in some cases math using no commodities
* at all (such as increasing a dollar amount by a multiplier).
* This file contains the most basic numerical type in Ledger:
* amount_t, which relies upon commodity.h (commodity_t) for handling
* commoditized amounts. This class allows Ledger to handle
* mathematical expressions involving differing commodities, as well
* as math using no commodities at all (such as increasing a dollar
* amount by a multiplier).

*
* round() rounds an amount to its commodity's current display

*
* unround() yields an amount whose display precision is never

* rounded values.
*
* reduce() reduces a value to its most basic commodity form, for
* amounts that utilize "scaling commodities". For example, an

*
* unreduce(), if used with a "scaling commodity", yields the most

* Parsing methods. The method `parse' is used to parse an amount

*
* parse(istream, unsigned char flags) parses an amount from the
* given input stream.
*
* parse(string, unsigned char flags) parses an amount from the
* given string.
*
* The `flags' argument of both parsing may be one or more of the
* following:
*
* AMOUNT_PARSE_NO_MIGRATE means to not pay attention to the way an
* amount is used. Ordinarily, if an amount were $100.001, for
* example, it would cause the default display precision for $ to be
* "widened" to three decimal places. If AMOUNT_PARSE_NO_MIGRATE is
* used, the commodity's default display precision is not changed.
*
* AMOUNT_PARSE_NO_REDUCE means not to call in_place_reduce() on the
* resulting amount after it is parsed.
*
* These parsing methods observe the amounts they parse (unless
* AMOUNT_PARSE_NO_MIGRATE is true), and set the display details of
* the corresponding commodity accordingly. This way, amounts do
* not require commodities to be pre-defined in any way, but merely
* displays them back to the user in the same fashion as it saw them
* used.
