Hi all,

I'm sharing the plugin `autobean.narration` which I've personally been using a lot for shopping transactions. It allows me to annotate each posting in a concise way by populating per-posting narration metadata from inline comments.

Example:

2000-01-01 * "bean party"

Assets:BankOfBean -110.00 USD

Expenses:Delivery 10.00 USD

Expenses:Beans:Soybeans 50.00 USD ;; soybean

Expenses:Beans:Peas 50.00 USD ;; pea ; real comments

This will become:

2000-01-01 * "bean party"

Assets:BankOfBean -110.00 USD

Expenses:Delivery 10.00 USD

Expenses:Beans:Soybeans 50.00 USD

narration: "soybean"

Expenses:Beans:Peas 50.00 USD

narration: "pea"

Check out git.io/autobean.narration if you are interested!
