| Beancount has inconsistent behavior with payee/narrations. | |
| If you have a line like this: | |
| 2020-01-01 * "Text1" | |
| Then "Text1" is the narration | |
| If you have a line like this: | |
| 2020-01-01 * "Text1" "Text2" | |
| Then "Text1" is the payee, and "Text2" is the narration | |
| ----- | |
| This plugin takes the cases where the text was entered with only a single string | |
| and assumes the "narration" was actually meant to be the "payee". For my data, this | |
| is always true. | |
