+ * There are essentially nine steps involved in realizing a ledger reporting
+ * session, with steps 5 and 8 -- which relate to the user's journal file --
+ * being optional in the case of "pre-commands", since they do not require the
+ * user's data to be read.
+ *
+ * \section global_init Initialize the global environment
+ *
+ * \section create_objs  Create session and report objects
+ *
+ * jww (2009-02-02): Set the "session context".
+ *
+ * \section process_opts Process user options
+ *
+ * This configures session and report objects
+ *
+ *    - environment

+ *    - command-line options
+ *
+ * \section lookup_cmd Locate object relating to command verb
