This makes methods like _replace available in real code, and caught the
bug where we can't use @functools.lru_cache with Transaction arguments,
because they're unhashable due to their mutable members.
Extend the base class from checking 1 metadata value to checking N.
This is preparation for RT#10643, letting payables be documented with
invoice or contract.
This does unify error reporting, because now we always report all
type/invalid value errors *plus* a missing error if appropriate.
I think this consistency and thoroughness is appropriate, although
it did require some adjustments to the tests.
The main impetus of this change is to rename accounts that were outside
Beancount's accepted five root accounts, to move them into that
structure. This includes:
Accrued:*Payable: → Liabilities:Payable:*
Accrued:*Receivable: → Assets:Receivable:*
UneanedIncome:* → Liabilities:UnearnedIncome:*
Note the last change did inspire in a change to our validation rules. We no
longer require income-type on unearned income, because it's no longer
considered income at all. Once it's earned and converted to an Income
account, that has an income-type of course.
This did inspire another rename that was not required, but
provided more consistency with the other account names above:
Assets:Prepaid* → Assets:Prepaid:*
Where applicable, I have generally extended tests to make sure one of each
of the five account types is tested. (This mostly meant adding an Equity
account to the tests.) I also added tests for key parts of the hierarchy,
like Assets:Receivable and Liabilities:Payable, where applicable.
As part of this change, Account.is_real_asset() got renamed to
Account.is_cash_equivalent(), to better self-document its purpose.
