For instance, what would a ledger look like with an entry that is a check (#

ledger doesn't care which date is which; it will use the left date by default,
or the right date with --effective.
However, it might be nice if we can agree on a consistent usage, at least to
make
documentation and learning easier. I believe John W. does it this way:
ACTUAL=EFFECTIVE
or in this case
BANKDATE=MYDATE
or
2010/12/07=12/01 * (234) Mr Foo Bar
Liabilities:Foo Bar $123.45
Assets:Checking -$123.45
Please see also the doc I posted. Any thoughts ?
