If the CSV uses separate fields for debit and credit amounts, you can
use `amountN-in` and `amountN-out` instead.
Also, for compatibility with hledger <1.17:
`amount` or `amount-in`/`amount-out` with no number sets the amount
for postings 1 and 2. For posting 2 the amount is negated, and
converted to cost if there's a [transaction price](journal.html#transaction-prices).
But if any numbered `amountN`/`amountN-in`/`amountN-out` fields are present, `amount` is ignored.
An unnumbered form of these rules is also supported:
`amount` or `amount-in`/`amount-out` sets the amount for both posting 1
and (negated, and converted if there's a [transaction price](journal.html#transaction-prices))
posting 2.
This is for compatibility with pre-hledger-1.17 csv rules files,
and can still be convenient for simple cases.
If any numbered `amountN`/`amountN-in`/`amountN-out` fields are present, `amount` is ignored.
