It should be noted here that one of the "features" of Ledger is that it leaves
as much of the semantics of your accounting as possible up to you.  This is a
reason why beancount was created: To choose the best notion of what things
mean in a financial setting, and then to impose those semantics to help you
avoid errors.

C++Ledger, however, is just a glorified calculator. It doesn't tell you what
your inputs or your outputs should mean.
