Since this is option is now just an alias for -B/--cost, and since it
may be removed soon, we make it undocumented, though it will still
behave as before. --value=cost,COMM is unsupported as well.
independently.
You can now combine costing and valuation, for example "--cost
--value=then" will first convert to costs, and then value according to
the "--value=then" strategy. Any valuation strategy can be used with or
without costing.
If multiple valuation and costing strategies are specified on the
command line, then if any of them include costing
(-B/--cost/--value=cost) then amounts will be converted to cost, and for
valuation strategy the rightmost will be used.
--value=cost is deprecated, but still supported and is equivalent to
--cost/-B. --value=cost,COMM is no longer supported, but this behaviour can be
achieved with "--cost --value=then,COMM".
costing and valuation.
This currently is given a dummy NoCost argument and is equivalent to
"maybe id (*ApplyValuation ...)", but provides a constant interface so
that internal behaviour can be changed freely.
simplifySign now covers a few more sign combinations that might arise.
And in particular, it strips a standalone sign with no number,
which simplifies sign flipping with amount-in/amount-out.
Also adds a postingDate argument to amountApplyValuation, and re-orders
the ValuationType and (Transaction/Posting) arguments to
(transaction/posting)ApplyValuation, to be consistent with
amountApplyValuation.
Searching for prices during valuation no longer now properly excludes
price loops, avoiding near infinite looping with certain
configurations of market prices. Also we now always use a direct price
when available, rather than searching unnecessarily.
Price searching progress info, useful for troubleshooting, is now
displayed with --debug=2.
There could still be some corner cases we don't handle correctly. We
now give up with an error message if the searched price chains get too
long (> 1000). More importantly, we should also give up if the search
iterates too many times, but this is not done yet.
Error messages for these four are now a bit fancier and more
consistent. But not yet optimised for machine readability.
