Hi,
I've stumbled upon your software which seems awesome so far.
Reading the doc, I fail to understand what advantages using codes has over
just using tags.
Mainly I'd like to track entries possibly via a transaction code, possibly
using a prefix to distinguish the payment type, here I use 'chk' to imply I
paid with a check.
Considering this sample ledger:
---
2017/05/24 (chk=123) KFC
; chk: 124
Expenses:Food:Restaurant 20
Assets:Checking Account -20
2017/05/23 (chk=123) KFC
; chk: 124
Expenses:Food:Restaurant 19
Assets:Checking Account -19
---
This is the output I get:
```console
user@host:~$ ledger -f ~/test.ledger reg code chk=123
17-May-24 KFC Ex:Food:Restaurant 20 20
..Checking Account -20 0
17-May-23 KFC Ex:Food:Restaurant 19 19
..Checking Account -19 0
```
```console
user@host:~$ ledger -f ~/test.ledger reg tag chq=124
17-May-24 KFC Ex:Food:Restaurant 20 20
..Checking Account -20 0
17-May-23 KFC Ex:Food:Restaurant 19 19
..Checking Account -19 0
```
The behavior is the same, although I understand I'm just searching for a
fixed value with the code prefix hack.
Am I missing something?
