Features for personal finance insight #62

The import-bank-statement command is working now. I had code for mergeJournals and generateImpliedInvoices, should revive that. In fact maybe the mergeJournals mechanism could coincide with the system for remote identifiers for sync to/from other timesheets systems?

There are several quite complex features needed for personal finance insight, and I keep underestimating them and writing code that I use once or don't even finish, and that is already stale when I come back to it a few weeks later.

Also, some way to show a graph of balance over time, combining data from various source, so you can see if your general savings are increasing or decreasing. That's even without splitting out expenses into various budgets. But important for this is to have all the source documents, including all bank accounts, all expenses, and all timesheets.

So maybe a what-the-world-owes <component-name> <from-date> <to-date> command that sums the balance of all the capacitors a given component has.
