I would like to track separate employees each in their own ledger file
and then roll them all together using !include statements in the
company file.  Each employee file would have accounts for liabilities,
income, expense, etc.  I know there is an !account directive to put
all the included entries into it's own account, Sue, for example, but
then I would end up with a Liabilities account, a Sue:Liabilities
account, etc.  Reports would be a nightmare.

Much better would be to automatically tag all entries read in from a
particular file with an "Employee: Sue" tag.  I can then slice the
company report any way I choose using these tags or ignoring them
entirely.  Easiest would be a !tag directive similar to !account, but
lacking that, can something like this be done using automatic
transactions, !alias (which is not documented as near as I can tell)
or something similar?
