possibility to set default month
I like to keep my journal files split by month (eg. 2016-06.journal) and include them in main file. It would be nice to be able to specify default month (similar way as default year) at the beginning of a file and only specify a day for transaction. If that makes sense I can volunteer (or at least try) to implement such feature as I'm currently learning Haskell.
I guess it makes sense. It would be Ledger-incompatible. You might or might not want to be able to combine it with a year. Would be a nice experiment, if you make it I will try it out.
I gave it some thought. First approach is to use separate directive, like M06, and another one is to combine it with a kind of "date prefix" directive, like D2016/06 (which IMO looks better). Are there any plans to add support for different date formats in the future?
Not at present.
The simplest thing might be to extend the existing Y directive to allow an optional month as well as year.
