At some point I proposed to add code to allow non-ISO-4217 currencies. While not formally
correct this could be helpful for simple personal accounting. Such alternate currency group
could also have been used to manage crypto currencies.
Unfortunately I don't have time left to implement this and I don't think any of the other
active devs has it anywhere on their priority list.
So "never" ? Depends. For to to have any chance though it will require someone to step up
and implement this in a way that fits the gnucash design and concepts.
