Martin Blais:

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the limitation is related to the lexer.
The grammar for flags plays not to nicely with other things, and I think this is one of them.
However, I think I _may_ be able to change the definition to that of Alan's suggestion for account name components beyond the first one.

Hi Martin,

Quick question. Is there a reason why account and commodity names need to be at least two characters?
Does it make parsing easier or is it just a matter of preference?

I have some holdings of stock with single letter tickers and it'd be nice to use their actual tickers in account and commodity names.
Obviously not a big deal, just a minor annoyance, but if it's a trivial change to the grammar I'd welcome it.

I'll dig into the codebase at some point but I'm just now learning Python so it might be a while.

Regards,
Luciano
