Please see attached scheme report, specifically line 201. When
configured to output "text", the script works. However, attempting to
output an account balance fails without clear error messages. Would
appreciate a more expert GNUCash scheme API developer diagnosing the
fault, or explaining how to properly extract this information.

Goal is to create simple custom reports showing basic financial health
statistics, such as net worth, working capital, cash buffer, and cash ratio.

Net Worth = Assets - Liabilities
Working Capital = (Assets > Current Assets) - Liabilities
Cash Buffer = (Assets > Current Assets > Cash) - Liabilities
Cash Ratio = (Assets > Current Assets > Cash) / Liabilities

In the long-term, it might be even more efficient and versatile to add a
simple command-line argument parser to the GNUCash binary, allowing
access to C API functions through a variety of shell scripting languages.
