Thank you for this email, I missed that document earlier.
As one point of data, I would like to track both adjusted and unadjusted cost basis (in scripts, so it can be some low level representation).

Context:
In Poland, on some tax report we need to give two numbers:
A=gains/losses during last tax year based on UNADJUSTED cost basis
B=costs we incurred during those transactions (ie. commissions). Commissions on bought lots are realized when selling (could be partially when the lot is sold partially).
Final tax = tax_rate*(A-B)
It means that the end result is the same as in using adjusted cost base, but we need to report both numbers separately.

I'd be great if I could extract that info from beancount (via some script/plugin/query that I write myself) For a long time, I was planning to implement something like option#3 via some plugin but didn't find time to do it yet.
However, I think option#6 would might work even better.

Just posting this a little more widely in case people missed the original thread. Mark Lodato and I are having a design discussion on reviewing cost basis for v3 in order to handle commissions right (using the "adjusted" cost basis).
Multiple options being discussed:
