Together with -E, this shows a balance for both used and declared
accounts (excluding empty parent accounts, which are usually not
wanted in list-mode reports).
This is somewhat consistent with --declared in the accounts and payees
commands, except for the leaf account restriction.
The idea of this is to be able to see a useful "complete" balance
report, even when you don't have transactions in all of your declared
accounts yet. I mainly want this for hledger-ui, but there's no harm
in exposing it in the balance CLI as well.
Together with -E, this allows showing a balance for all accounts, both
used and declared. I mainly want this for hledger-ui, but there's no

This allows more control over how multicommodity amounts are displayed.
In addition to the default single-line display, and the recent commodity
column display, we now have multi-line display. This is controlled by
the --layout option, which has possible values "wide", "tall", and
"bare". The --commodity-column option has been hidden, but is equivalent
to --layout=bare.

Replace showPosting with a wrapper around postingAsLines.
The functions textConcat(Top|Bottom)Padded are no longer used anywhere
in the code base, and can be removed if desired.
This produces slightly different output for showPosting, in particular
it no longer displays the transaction date. However, this has been
marked as ‘for debugging only’ for a while, and is only used in
hledger-check-fancy assertions. The output there is still acceptable.
Combining valuation with filtration is subtle and error-prone (see e.g. #1625).
We have to do in in both MultiBalanceReport and PostingsReport, where it
is done in slightly different ways. This refactors this functionality
into separate functions which are called in both reports, for uniform
behaviour.
(SourcePos, SourcePos).
This has been marked for possible removal for a while. We are keeping
strictly more information. Possible edge cases arise with Timeclock and
CsvReader, but I think these are covered.
The particular motivation for getting rid of this is that
GenericSourcePos is creating some awkward import considerations for
little gain. Removing this enables some flattening of the module
dependency tree.
