Investment Improve suitability for investment tracking (#1015) market price inference from transactions easy market price fetching lot tracking capital gains reporting	Charts Add charts and more visual appeal. console charts, basic bar charts clarify architecture/UI for charts graphical charts using Chart/matplotlib/hvega review/design/add more attractive/colourful output (see eg taskwarrior)
Correctness More support for enforcing correctness & accounting rules. account names commodity symbols payees notes/descriptions ? account lifetimes ? account balance conditions ? transaction templates ?
