For clarity; infer-value was too vague. The old spelling remains
supported for compatibility, but is now deprecated.
When typing, --infer-market or even --infer (for now) is sufficient.
Since this is option is now just an alias for -B/--cost, and since it
may be removed soon, we make it undocumented, though it will still
behave as before. --value=cost,COMM is unsupported as well.
independently.
You can now combine costing and valuation, for example "--cost
--value=then" will first convert to costs, and then value according to
the "--value=then" strategy. Any valuation strategy can be used with or
without costing.
If multiple valuation and costing strategies are specified on the
command line, then if any of them include costing
(-B/--cost/--value=cost) then amounts will be converted to cost, and for
valuation strategy the rightmost will be used.
--value=cost is deprecated, but still supported and is equivalent to
--cost/-B. --value=cost,COMM is no longer supported, but this behaviour can be
achieved with "--cost --value=then,COMM".
A "hledger check" argument may now be a quoted string containing
the check name followed by space-separated arguments, for
checks which make use of those. This means the check command
can replicate "check-dates --unique" and (in principle)
"check-fancyassertions ASSERTIONS..". Eg:
hledger check "dates --unique"
I think it'll be better for checks to take no arguments or options,
so this is probably just a transitional feature for compatibility.
querystring_.
This helps deal with tricky quoting issues, as we no longer have to make
sure everything is quoted properly before merging it into a string.
checkRawOpts has been a no-op for at least four years, and
checkReportOpts only makes sure that depth_ is positive, which is taken
care of by the maybeposintopt parser.

This might be a bit of a pain for scripting, but otherwise it can be
quite confusing if your argument matches an account you didn't expect.

Hledger.Util.Tests helpers have been cleaned up, and test names are
now shown.
Tests have been cleaned up a bit. Some groups of unnamed tests have
been collapsed into a single named test containing a sequence of
assertions. The test command counts named tests, not assertions, so
the reported unit test count has dropped from 199 to 188.
This commit introduces the commandline argument -%/--percent to show
percentages of the column's total instead of the absolute amounts for
each account in reports. The signs of the values are preserved.
This option is especially useful for the balance and incomestatement
commands.
If there are multiple commodities involved in a report hledger bails
with an error message. This can be avoided by using --cost. Also note
that if one uses -% with the balance command the chances are high that
all numbers are 0. This is due to the fact that by default balance sums
up to zero. If one wants to use -% in a meaningful way with balance one
has to add a query.
In order to keep the implementation as simple as possible --tree has no
influence over how the percentages are calculated, i.e., the percentages
always represent the fraction of the columns total. If one wants to know
the percentages relative to a parent account, one has to use a query to
narrow down the accounts.
