New issue 250: improve error message for costs without an amount
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/250/improve-error-message-for-costs-without-an
Martin Michlmayr:
With:
```
2017-01-01 open Assets:Rewards
2017-01-01 open Equity:Opening-balance
2017-01-01 * "Marriott certificate"
Assets:Rewards 1 MARRIOTT4 {"expiration: 2017-08-17"}
Equity:Opening-balance
```
I get:
```
...:7: Failed to categorize posting 0
```
This error message could be improved to say the cost is missing the amount.
BTW, should a cost without an amount be allowed? I guess not, but I could use
the built-in mechanism to ensure I remove the correct "lot" (in ledger terms).
But I guess I can put the info in a metadata variable and write a plugin to
ensure the same. Just seems like a duplication of error. (Maybe there's an
elegant way to do this already?)
