Expected behavior

These should not be present if they don't work!

These not working suggests that the ledger docs are out of date at https://www.ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Value-Expressions in section 11.1.1.

https://github.com/ledger/ledger/blob/41ca4a7551cdc0e06496006d2adb1f62ba5dab5b/doc/ledger3.texi#L7991-L8033 seems to be the problem area in the docs

NEVERMIND. The report type was balance and these sorts don't work there.
