How to hide metadata

[Thomas den Hollander]

I am in the process of publishing some beangulp importers that I have been using. I was wondering: aren't metadata entries starting with '__' supposed to be hidden? When looking at the beangulp output or using `printer.format_entry` these entries do appear. Am I doing something wrong?

I am using the `metadata` method from the beangulp importer (but I've tried other things):

```

def metadata(self, filepath, lineno, row):

        meta = super().metadata(filepath, lineno, row)

        meta[BOOKING_CODE_KEY] = row.booking_code

        return meta

```

I suspect you are calling into an old version of beancount.printer.
Ignoring all metadata with keys starting with '__' is a recent-ish
addition (in Beancount v3 only). Before, only 'filename' and 'lineno'
were ignored.
