Thanks Martin. That's very helpful. I'm going to digest it a little bit and gather my thoughts. I have 2 use cases which have come up, one for reporting and the other for mathematically calculated posting amounts. I'll put together some examples of the use cases when I get a little more time.
Side note, thank you for your hard work putting Beancount together. It's truly fantastic software and I love customizing it to suit my needs. I've been using it for 2 years now and it's hard to remember how I did my finances beforehand.
