Hi Red, first of all let me thank you for the amazing website and beancount_reds_importers I'm slowly building up my beancount setup almost entirely based on your guidance here. It's been extremely helpful! I noticed in investments.py that you have this add_custom_postings function. I think it would be helpful to add it to banking.py (I want to add posting metadata to the target account and that seems like the easiest approach.) I think it should be just a three line addition, but I'm still not familiar enough with python installation and git/github to make the PR. (I need to figure out how to work on a development version of your code on my machine, still learning about pip/venv/etc.) Once I figure that out I'll try to submit, but if you happen to see this before I do and agree that others might find it useful I'd appreciate the addition. Thanks again for the framework!
