Thanks for this, it is pretty nifty. I do an international wire transfer every few months and I always need to scroll through my beancount file to remember the exact format for everything I need to enter (intermediate bank transfer fees, receiving wire transfer fees, the transfer goes exits one account into a Transfer limbo account for a few days until it arrives at the destination, etc, etc). Just using this seems like a nice alternative.
