For brevity, and consistency with --conf.
--rules-file remains supported, as a hidden option.
hledger's main mode now supports the hidden legacy flags,
as the command modes do.
Tags and types declared in account directives in sibling files or
included files are now combined more carefully.
In particular, when merging two Journals into one,
- jdeclaredaccounttags and jdeclaredaccounttypes no longer lose information;
any duplicated/conflicting tag/type values are preserved.
- jaccounttypes now prefers the last type declared in case of
conflict, not the first.
This enables a "relaxed" workflow where you delay balance assertions
checking until strict mode is turned on: always run hledger -I, and
add -s when you're ready.
When built with the ghcdebug flag and started with --debug=-1 (or -2
to pause at startup, or -3 to pause before exit), hledger can be
controlled by ghc-debug clients like ghc-debug-brick or a custom
ghc-debug query script.
Also, refactor version string code.
When the error message repeated the invalid date at the end,
it was possible to misinterpret that as a suggested fix (reported in chat).
Instead, date errors (most of them) now rely on the highlighted data
excerpt above. This is also preferable since it shows the original
date as written, not a reconstruction with a possibly different format.
Should this be the policy for all error messages going forward ?
It would be easier.
Can we assume the data excerpt is always visible along with the error message ?
It isn't shown by flycheck-hledger in emacs, eg.
Like we used to in 1.30, but better (show all available decimal digits,
unless they're infinite in which case show 8, show trailing zeros,
show commodity symbol with zero).
Adjust getEffectiveAssignment to compute an intermediary form of the
active assignments (with an additional Either wrapper to distinguish
top-level and conditional assignments) and move the remaining work to
its only caller, hledgerField.
Rework hledgerFieldValue. Instead of calling hledgerField, call
getEffectiveAssignment and--in the conditional block case--construct
a CsvRules scoped just to the active ConditionalBlock before calling
renderTemplate.
Adjust regexMatchValue to use rconditionalblocks to access conditional
blocks from the CsvRules, rather than rblocksassigning, since we haven't
narrowed the scope of that field.
The result is match group references are only expanded for match groups
that occur within the in-scope ConditionalBlock. Fixes: #2158.

hledgerField is an alias to the function getEffectiveAssignment: both
names are used in various parts of RulesReader.
Treat hledgerField as the canonical name, and getEffectiveAssignment
as an implementation detail of hledgerField.
Replace all uses of getEffectiveAssignment with hledgerField (except the
one in hledgerField.)

Note the headErr/tailErr calls will print stack traces if they fail
(small ones: five lines, one of which is the useful location info),
which may or may not be best UX.
