The feature I thought for this is the ability to add an assertion over an arbitrary period of time. This is related to budgeting, to some extent. For example, you should be able to say "assert that between this date and that date the balance changes by at least/at most/exactly this much", e.g.
2014-04-30 balance since 2014-04-01 Expenses:Restaurant <600.00 USD I think Ledger can already do this if I recall, via an expression?
