With -s, -M/Y/D, -n, and a few other flags, postings get "grouped" into
meta-transactions that contain more postings than before. In all these
cases, -V use the date of the *earliest* posting in that group, which
makes little sense and caused breakages with -J. It now uses the latest
date.

The purpose of this option is to add special "<Rounding>" postings, to
ensure that a regiter's running total is *always* the sum of its
postings. Within --rounding, these adjustment postings are missing,
which was the behavior in Ledger 2.x. It can be orders of magnitude
slower to turn it on for large reports with many commodities.
These options allow the user to specify what accounts names should be
used for these two types of accounts. They are optional, and default
to:
--unrealized-gains "Equity:Unrealized Gains"
--unrealized-losses "Equity:Unrealized Losses"
These are intended to be set in one's ~/.ledgerrc file.
When this option is on, then in balance report which show market values,
any gains or losses in value will be balanced into a pair of accounts
called Equity:Unrealized Gains and Equity:Unrealized Losses.
This fits better with the --amount and --total options, which both
change the amount and total used for calculation. Same with --account:
it happens after filtering, but before calculation so that balance
reports look as you'd expect.
This is necessary because sometimes, a post from one account will get
reported as though it were in another account (this happens with
--budget, to show child account postings within their parent account).
In that case, the account needs to remember which postings have been
reported as being within it, so that it can add these amounts to its own
total in the balance report.
id returns a unique SHA1 id of a transaction.
idstring is the string that the SHA1 is based on.
magnitude is the sum of the positive side of a transaction.
