"Better" can be defined by "useful": is it useful if the user always
have to repeat all the commodities in a balance assertion? e.g. let's
say I have a lot of cash changes in an investment account. My assertions
could have to look like this:
2014-03-20 balance* Assets:Some:Account 10 GOOG, 201.24 USD
2014-04-20 balance* Assets:Some:Account 10 GOOG, 762.30 USD
2014-05-20 balance* Assets:Some:Account 10 GOOG, 784.02 USD
2014-06-20 balance* Assets:Some:Account 10 GOOG, 640.40 USD
Do I really want to have to repeat the 10 GOOG every time?
Thanks Martin. I agree that the repetition above is more effort, but I
tend to think it's worth the trouble - explicitness and correctness are
why assertions exist after all. And I feel multi-commodity accounts are
rare and needing to write many assertions on them will be rarer, though
perhaps Thierry Daucourt will disagree on this ?
