For `--infer-costs` to work, an exchange must consist of four postings:
1. a pair of equity postings, next to one another
2. they must be to account(s) declared with type `V`/`Conversion`;
or if no such accounts are declared, accounts named
`equity:conversion`, `equity:trade`, `equity:trading` or subaccounts of these
3. they must exactly match the amounts of two non-conversion postings.
1. two non-equity postings
2. two equity postings, next to one another
2. the equity accounts must be declared, with account type `V`/`Conversion`
(or if they are not declared, they must be named
`equity:conversion`, `equity:trade`, `equity:trading` or subaccounts of these)
3. the equity postings' amounts must exactly match the non-equity postings' amounts
Multiple such exchanges can coexist within a single transaction, should you need that.
When inferring cost, the order of postings matters:
the cost is added to the first of the non-equity postings involved in the exchange,
in the commodity of the last non-equity posting involved in the exchange.
If you don't want to write your postings in the required order,
the alternative is not to infer cost; instead, use explicit cost notation,
omitting the equity postings, inferring them later with --infer-equity if needed.
