New issue 234: cost leads to too much precision being shown in cost commodity
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/234/cost-leads-to-too-much-precision-being
Martin Michlmayr:
In the following example "32.0100 GBP" is shown as the balance of the account.
I was only expecting 2 digits of precision after the . (i.e. 31.01).
```
2018-01-01 open Assets:Pension:NEST
2018-01-01 open Equity:Opening-Balance
option "inferred_tolerance_default" "GBP:0.01"
2018-01-01 * "Opening balance: NEST" #opening-balance
Assets:Pension:NEST 57.62 GBP
Equity:Opening-Balance
2018-01-02 * "NEST: Bought NEST Higher Risk Fund with December employee
contributions"
fund: "NESTHIGHER"
Assets:Pension:NEST 11.7520 NESTHIGHER {2.1792 GBP, 2018-01-02}
Assets:Pension:NEST ; -25.61 GBP
```
gives:
```
bean-report d.beancount bal -e Assets:Pension:NEST
Assets:Pension:NEST 32.0100 GBP
Assets:Pension:NEST 11.7520 NESTHIGHER
```
If I change the example to specify the price in the second posting, it is shown
correctly:
```
2018-01-01 open Assets:Pension:NEST
2018-01-01 open Equity:Opening-Balance
option "inferred_tolerance_default" "GBP:0.01"
2018-01-01 * "Opening balance: NEST" #opening-balance
Assets:Pension:NEST 57.62 GBP
Equity:Opening-Balance
2018-01-02 * "NEST: Bought NEST Higher Risk Fund with December employee
contributions"
fund: "NESTHIGHER"
Assets:Pension:NEST 11.7520 NESTHIGHER {2.1792 GBP, 2018-01-02}
Assets:Pension:NEST -25.61 GBP
```
leads to:
```
bean-report c.beancount bal -e Assets:Pension:NEST
Assets:Pension:NEST 32.01 GBP
Assets:Pension:NEST 11.7520 NESTHIGHER
```
However, giving the total purchase price explicitly doesn't help in all
examples , e.g.:
```
2018-01-01 open Assets:Pension:NEST
2018-01-01 open Equity:Opening-Balance
option "inferred_tolerance_default" "GBP:0.01"
2018-01-01 * "Opening balance: NEST" #opening-balance
Assets:Pension:NEST 57.62 GBP
Equity:Opening-Balance
2018-01-01 * "Opening balance: NEST Higher Risk Fund" #opening-balance
fund: "NESTHIGHER"
Assets:Pension:NEST 11.7230 NESTHIGHER {2.1846 GBP, 2017-12-14}
Assets:Pension:NEST 11.7230 NESTHIGHER {2.1846 GBP, 2017-12-14}
Assets:Pension:NEST 14.6526 NESTHIGHER {2.1846 GBP, 2017-12-14}
Assets:Pension:NEST 14.6526 NESTHIGHER {2.1846 GBP, 2017-12-14}
Equity:Opening-Balance -115.24 GBP
```
This gives:
```
Assets:Pension:NEST 57.6200 GBP
Assets:Pension:NEST 52.7512 NESTHIGHER
```
