[GNC-dev] About Experimental Reports

[Christopher Lam]

Dear Users

We hope the revamped reports have been useful and welcome to the community.

With 4.0 round the corner, it is time to consider replacing the old reports
with the experimental ones.

Balance Sheet and Income Statement (Multicolumn) reports are now well
tested, and can replace the previous ones; however not all options will or
can survive the merge. This means most options will remain unchanged
- accounts selection
- target report currency (optional in new report)
- some display options

and obsolete options ignored/renamed e.g.:
- asset/liability/equity individual labels/totals
- accounting style rules
- too many subtotal options

Also the various business reports Customer/Employee/Vendor reports and
Aging reports are now upgraded, and can supplant the old reports
immediately. The newer reports do NOT need to specify an AP/AR account, and
can show related business transactions.

The question is how to handle old reports: hide (behind a seldom-used
--extras argument), rename, or remove altogether. Any preference?
