You can already tightly control what is displayed with expressions after the bal/reg command. I have some fairly complex invocations of ledger, which I keep in scripts or rakefiles that wrap all the ledger options so I don't have to type them out each time. Also, take a look at the 2012-02-19 list post titled "the Transfer account pattern", which is the account formulation pattern I came across that allows accounts to cancel out when balanced. - Zack
