I had a desire to try to keep things as minimal as possible and work 
towards understanding what's actually going on before adding something like 
beancount_reds (it comes up basically whenever I google an import question) 
but taking a look at your example, it does look like it's going to save me 
a lot of time getting my fidelity data imported
 
One question -- have you considered adding support for csv files from 
Fidelity that have multiple accounts? Here's the scenario:

   - I have many fidelity accounts
   - I can export a csv for each one, which would match your example here 
   
<https://github.com/redstreet/beancount_reds_importers/blob/fidelity_csv/beancount_reds_importers/fidelity_csv/History_for_Account_X99999999.csv>
 
   exactly 
   - I can also go to "all accounts" in fidelity and export one csv for 
   everything (columns are `Run Date,Account,Action...` instead of `Run 
   Date,Action...`)
   - Significant reduction in CSV files that need to be downloaded but some 
   code would need to leverage the account column to dynamically update the 
   Assets:Fidelity:<account> entry for beancount

Appreciating the guidance.
