-You may need to explicitly set a commodity's display style, when reverse prices are used.
-Eg this output might be surprising:
-```journal
-P 2000-01-01 A 2B
-
-2000-01-01
-  a  1B
-  b
-```
-```shell
-$ hledger print -x -X A
-2000-01-01
-    a               0
-    b               0
-
-```
-Explanation: because there's no amount or commodity directive specifying a display style
-for A, 0.5A gets the default style, which shows no decimal digits. Because the displayed
-amount looks like zero, the commodity symbol and minus sign are not displayed either.
-Adding a commodity directive sets a more useful display style for A:
-```journal
-P 2000-01-01 A 2B
-commodity 0.00A
-
-2000-01-01
-  a  1B
-  b
-```
-```shell
-$ hledger print -X A
-2000-01-01
-    a           0.50A
-    b          -0.50A
