The --time-colon option will display the value for a seconds
based commodity as real hours and minutes.
For example 8100 seconds by default will be displayed as 2.25
whereas with the --time-colon option they will be displayed
as 2:15.
For example, just the word "account" returns the name of the current
posting's account, but account("Expenses:Food") returns the actual
account object, so that it's total may be accessed.
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.
The different namespaces are:
Function Value expression functions, which receive a "context"
Option Command-line options
Precommand Commands which are invoked before reading the journal
Command Commands which are invoked after reading the journal
Directive Directives that occur at column 0 in a data file
This greatly eases the ability for Python uses to add intercept hooks to
change how the basic Ledger module functions. An example of what should
be possible soon:
import ledger
def my_foo_handler(value):
print "--foo received:", value
ledger.add_handler(ledger.Option, "foo=", my_foo_handler)
The code now uses Boost's input and output facets for times and dates.
This ensures completely consistency regarding timezones and times, and
fixes the regression test that was broken while I was away coding in
London (where it was GMT-0 and I didn't notice the difference between
local and GMT).
The problem at this point is that it's recording prices in the price
database multiple times; it should only need to download a price for
each commodity once per day.
This means that final balance valuations (with -V or -X) will be done in
terms of the date given to --end, rather than based on the current day.

When enabled, if any accounts or commodities are seen in an uncleared
transaction, which were not seen previously in a cleared or pending
transaction or a textual directive dealing with accounts or commodities,
a warning is generated about the unknown item.
