I have a few question about moving from ledger to beancount:

1) Ledger has a "D" directive (e.g. D 1000.00 EUR).  It sets the
default currency (operating_currency in beancount) but it also
sets the format (so if I use D as above and then write 10 it would be
printed as 10.00).  I don't think there's an equivalent for
beancount, right?

2) "N" says that pricing information for that commodity should be
ignored (and no price quotes are downloaded).  It's basically your
"home currency" (operating_currency).  I don't think there's
an equivalent, right?

3) C AMOUNT1 = AMOUNT2: Specifies a commodity conversion, e.g. "C 1.00
Kb = 1024 bytes".  Is that somehow possible in beancount?

4) Can you "define" variables and then use them in transactions?
e.g.
define foo=$100
    Expenses:Purchase             $foo

5) Has anyone done plugins for ledger's automated transactions and
periodic postings?

6) Has anyone done a table comparing ledger and beancount syntax, and
if not, would that be of interest?
