At first glance I can't see that there is a way to override what beancount
is doing here.
It appears as though it has some sort of an opinionated parsers as to what
is considered valid for a Ticker Symbol, and it won't accept "V" (the
symbol for Visa). It appears to be wanting an all-uppercase > 1 length
symbol, which isn't really valid for the real world.
Is there a way to override this behavior? I'm not spotting anything on my
first pass of the options documentation.
The following ledger fails to parse, complaining about an invalid token 'V'
(specifically it is complaining about the use of the ticker symbol as a
unit in "10.00 V", it's fine with the account name).
