Thanks Simon
I was referring to the combination of requirements below, which seems to
not quite fit ledger. I don't mind so much how I achieve these with
particular features:
* Keep track of account balances (specifically bank balance)
intermittently without recording all transactions (either with balance
assignments or ordinary adjustment transactions that just add or
subtract an amount to reconcile with what the bank says is the current
balance)
* Periodically assert total account balance
* Track money set aside money from that account as e.g. savings
