You should definitely share your script when you're done. I've needed this 
a few times for ACATS transfers between brokerages. It isn't a common 
thing, so I understand why it isn't the core beancount, but it also always 
makes me think "shouldn't my computer be doing all this manual work for 
me!" :)

Though I have a feeling that, like all problems, it isn't as 
straightforward as it appears at first glance. Do you let the user only 
deal with SOME of the lots? Yes, partial ACATS is a thing. What's the 
syntax to specify the lots chosen? By date? By capital gains? The price of 
the security will change in some cases, what's the syntax for the new 
price? How is rounding of partial shares handled? Who knows what else? 
Hopefully you can tackle some of those problems and come up with some nifty 
solutions.
