For my paychecks at a previous employer, I knew how much should be in them.
This wasn't always the amount that was there. So I had a metadata field like
this:
; Expected:: $1,000.00
Then I would "inject" these amounts into a query like this:
ledger reg --inject=Expected '^income:foo'
That way, Income:FOO, which is a negative value, would be balanced by the
injected Expected values. If the final results was positive, they owed me
that much money.
This was intended a shorthand for something that I wasn't able to find an
easier way to do.
