# Dev notes:
# This is syntactic sugar.
# If useful, it should be possible to add this to journal format without too much breakage.
#
# Showing debits/credits separately in output, with a --dc flag, is more work.
# It could be prototyped as a single new report, eg an addon script providing variant of the simple balance report.
# I think both the report calculation and display code would need to change, to sum and show the positive amounts and negative amounts separately.
# It would be a nice feature: offering a more traditional view of things, and reducing sign vs dc doubts.
# Would it provide any real new error checking power ? I'm not sure

# If useful, there's no reason we couldn't
# 1. add H:M syntax to timedot format
# 2. add a general --hm output flag, affecting display of amounts with
# no commodity,
# or a commodity that looks like a time unit (eg timedot's: s, m, h, d, w, mo, y),
# or a commodity that has a display:time tag.
