This is used by reports like register and balance so that separated
commodities without spaces in them needed be surrounded by quotes. It
will still occur in most other places.

With -X COMM, all values are computed in terms of COMM, regardless.
With -V, only secondary commodities will ever be computed, never
primaries. Further, if a secondary commodities has an associated price,
the valuation is done in terms of that price's commodity.
This option reports only in terms of the annotated price of the
commodities involved, otherwise it reports the amounts themselves. It
can be used in conjunction with other reports, as it applies to the
displayed amounts, not the actual amounts being calculated.
Slow the increase in internal precision when dividing amounts.
Use "--debug amount.convert" if you wish to see this logic in action, if
a case where incorrect rounding is suspected comes up.

If you put '=' before an annotated commodity's price, it will cause any
future market valuation of that commodity to use that price, and ignore
whatever changes may have happened since in the market price. This can
be useful if you are tracking gas expenses based on a standard rate
which, although it changes over time, should not adjust the historical
valuation of how much the gas cost at the time it was purchased:
2009/01/01 Payee
Expenses:Gas 100 GAL {=$2}
Liabilities:MasterCard $-200
These strings are now collected automagically in the file po/ledger.pot.
If you'd like to produce a translation, just run this command after
building Ledger:
msginit -l LOCALE -o LANG.po -i po/ledger.pot
Where LOCALE is a string like de or en_GB, and LANG is a short
descriptive word for your language.
Then send me this .po file so I can commit it to the Ledger sources
(alternatively, you could maintain the file in a fork on GitHub), and
setup the build script to format and install your new message catalog
during a "make install".
