For instance, what would a ledger look like with an entry that is a check (#

December 7th?

2010/12/01=12/07 * (234) Mr Foo Bar
     Liabilities:Foo Bar                 $123.45
     Assets:Checking                    -$123.45

ledger doesn't care which date is which; it will use the left date by default,
or the right date with --effective.

However, it might be nice if we can agree on a consistent usage, at least to 
make
documentation and learning easier. I believe John W. does it this way:

ACTUAL=EFFECTIVE

or in this case

BANKDATE=MYDATE

or

2010/12/07=12/01 * (234) Mr Foo Bar
     Liabilities:Foo Bar                 $123.45
     Assets:Checking                    -$123.45

Please see also the doc I posted. Any thoughts ?
