This does costing and valuation on a journal, and is meant to replace
most direct calls of costing and valuation. The exception is for reports
which require amounts to be summed before valuation is applied, for
example a historical balance report with --value=end.
we know we won't need them.
Knowing whether we need them is accomplished by pulling the "show-costs"
option used by the Close command up into ReportOpts.
price directives after the last transaction/posting date if using
--value=end.
Also enlarges the reportspan to encompass full intervals for budget
goals.
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.
