As I'm pushing to reimplement payment-report/income-report, I see query and
reporting tools will want easy access to these kinds of views, so here it
starts.
* Rename _typing to beancount_types to better reflect what it is.
* LessComparable isn't a Beancount type, so move that to
plugin.core with its dependent helper classes.
* Errors are a core Beancount concept, so move that module to the
top level and have it include appropriate type definitions.
I feel like posting hooks a case of premature optimization in early
development. This approach reduces the number of special cases in
the code and allows us to more strongly reason about hooks in the
type system.
This is the layer that keeps track of the different groups of hooks and
can filter them before runtime. The idea here is that you'll be able
to do things like skip hooks that require network access when you don't
have it, or skip CPU-intensive hooks when you don't need them, etc.
This is the simplest version of a common validation we're going to do:
make sure that a particular piece of metadata has one of a set of
values.
This checker needs some bounds checking but I wanted to err on the
side of committing this early because it introduces so much base
infrastructure.
