Hi,

 In fava, the 'account view' shows a journal of postings related to the 
account, changes, and balances as well as a graph over time. There are 
several situations where I'd like this same set of information but 
operating on multiple accounts.  This is easy to do if the accounts share a 
common ancestor, but sometimes the ancestor is too distant to make this 
meaningful.  For example, if my accounts were organized as 
Asset:<Bank>:<Acct Type>, I might want to get an aggregate view of all my 
Checking accounts (Assets:.*:Checking).  This information is mostly 
available a set of from a set of queries, but I don't think it's easy to 
see how the balance to this 'aggregate' account changes over time... 
alternatively, if you use the account view of "Asset" and then filter the 
accounts to ".*Checking", you almost get there, but if, for example, you 
have a transaction that posts to both an Assets:...:Saving and an 
Assets:...:Checking, then things don't seem to filter as desired; further, 
this won't work at all if the accounts don't share a common ancestor.

Any thoughts/pointers would be appreciated!
