That would be nice (+ publishing a new minor version on PyPI ;-)),
thanks! And thanks also to Daniele for explaining the rationale behind
this limitation.
My 2 cents on the rationale is that it's an odd trade-off. It doesn't go
all the way of trying to detect that the long string is *actually*
beancount markup that ended up in a string by mistake; hence when it is
the case it provides a potentially misleading error message ("string too
long"); and at the same time rejects (arguably) valid inputs like mine.
These for me are good arguments for dropping removing the limit
entirely. YMMV.
Cheers
