wouldn't it be correct to add the transaction costs in its own account into
the transaction, and thereby beancount is able to list the fees separately?
compared to my example from above I would have to add one line:
2018-01-01 * "Send 1.5 ETH & 0.05 ETH gas"
Assets:Crypto:ETH -1.5 ETH {} ;; list the ETH amount without tx cost
Expenses:Crypto 100 USD ;; matching the 1.5 eth
Assets:Crypto:ETH -0.05 ETH {} ;; tx cost listed separately
Expenses:Crypto:Fees 1 USD ;; cost matching the 0.05 eth
Income:Crypto:PnL
this way I would be able to query for all entries including fees and
therefore this solution works instead of dividing the tx into two entries?
