What I mean about a "final value" is this: Say you spend $100 from your
credit card to pay someone 100 EUR (I can dream!).  The value of those
$, in any future report, should be fixed, since this value cannot change:
it's already spent.

But I buy $100 using 100 EUR and put into my bank account, _those_ $ will
fluctuate based on market values.  These values are not "final".

The default will be as it now, that all values are open.  I simply propose
adding syntax will let you state that some transactions are now historical
fact, and should vary in their reported value on any future report.
