Hi Craig,
ledger does do detection to try to figure out what format the amount
is in. It is this detection that seems to be failing when the number
of digits following the comma is evenly divisible by 3. You can see
this by comparing how
Assets:Bitcoin:Local 0,000098BTC
and:
Assets:Bitcoin:Local 0,0000980BTC
^ extra 0
are parsed.
(Personally, I find code like this fragile and tend to just prefer the
user tell me, via LC_NUMERIC or some such how numerals are formatted.
After all, how are we to distinguish `1,012BTC`?) But the code to try
to figure this out is there.
