I believe the problem here is that because your data file never uses
Clothing in a transaction, Ledger doesn't actually create the
account.
It seems that the account would be explicitly created by the
`account` command. This behavior makes integration more difficult. If
an external script receives no record for a particular account,
should it assume it is zero/empty?
The bigger issue is that the Expenses account, which is not zero (it
has a non-zero child account), is also not displayed. This makes it
impossible to use child account balances for detailed reports and
parent account balances for general reports (without using additional
processing or dummy automated transactions).
