This is an interesting use case, and one that I had never considered. The
point in the code where automatically generated postings get added to a
transaction is here:
https://github.com/ledger/ledger/blob/next/src/xact.cc#L808
What you're asking for is that we take this new posting, and recursively apply
the set of automated postings to it, I imagine with some of guard that will
trigger an error if you get yourself into infinite recursion.
The code would need to be reorganized a bit for this. Instead of "extending a
transaction", we'd want to break the work into two phases: given a posting,
generate all automated postings for it (possibly recursively); and then, add
all those new postings to the transaction obeying balancing rules.
Anyone up for trying?
John
