How new? I'm running Beancount 2.2.0, per `bean-check --version`.
If I try to use { # 123 USD} instead of {{123 USD}}, bean-check barfs with
"Too many missing numbers for currency group 'USD'" for each instance.
(And the beancount plugin for Sublime Text doesn't recognize this as valid
syntax, highlighting the # character in an unhappy pink shade. So I'm
guessing this is pretty new.)
