Hi,

I'm starting to look into using the bean-price infrastructure and have a couple 
points/questions.

1) I specify the price ccy twice, on the one hand in the lookup expression and 
on the other hand the Source needs to also fill this in when creating the 
SourcePrice. As far as I can tell only the one from the lookup is used, which 
makes sense for me as often the source will not know the price ccy. Should this 
get dropped from SourcePrice?

2) I would like to convert all my prices into a base ccy. Is there any 
infrastructure around for something like this? I'm not talking about transitive 
prices, all I would need is to be able to convert a price into my base ccy 
based on an other conversion. What I'm thinking is something like
* fetch price from Source in USD
* using existing price data convert USD price into CHF

If the Source would get the existing prices I could do it in there but that's 
not the case and I think somewhere outside would make more sense as it should 
be independent of the Source. Did anyone tackle such a problem? Am I going at 
it the right way?

3) I'm planing to fetch prices on a daily basis and write them out as price 
directives so that if a price source disappears I still have all the previously 
fetched prices, does that make sense? Any easy way to do this with bean-price? 
Especially with updated intraday prices where I can't simply append the output 
of bean-price

Thanks for this great tool,
Patrick
