Added note to docs about "primary" commodities
Whenever a commodity is exchanged for another in a posting, one of the
two is considered "primary", and the other secondary. Primariness of a
commodity is remembered, since the --market option only renders balances
into secondary commodities, never primaries. To render primaries, use
the --exchange=COMMODITY option.
In all of the following examples, the P commodity is considered primary
and the S is secondary (the P at the beginning of the line indicates a
price-setting directive):
