  /**
   * Unary arithmetic operators.  There are several unary methods
   * support on amounts:
   *
   * precision() return an amount's current, internal precision.  To
   * find the precision it will be displayed at -- assuming it was not
   * created using the static method `amount_t::exact' -- refer to
   * commodity().precision.
   *
   * negate(), also unary minus (- x), returns the negated value of an
   * amount.
   *
   * abs() returns the absolute value of an amount.  It is equivalent
   * to: `(x < 0) ? - x : x'.
   *
   * round(precision_t) and round() round an amount's internal value
   * to the given precision, or to the commodity's current display
   * precision if no precision value is given.  This method changes
   * the internal value of the amount, if it's internal precision was
   * greater than the rounding precision.
   *
   * unround() yields an amount whose display precision is never
   * truncated, even though its commodity normally displays only
   * rounded values.
   *
   * reduce() reduces a value to its most basic commodity form, for
   * amounts that utilize "scaling commodities".  For example, an
   * amount of 1h after reduction will be 3600s.
   *
   * unreduce(), if used with a "scaling commodity", yields the most
   * compact form greater than 1.0.  That is, 3599s will unreduce to
   * 59.98m, while 3601 unreduces to 1h.
   *
   * value(optional<datetime_t>, optional<commodity_t>) returns the
   * historical value for an amount -- the default moment returns the
   * most recently known price -- based on the price history for the
   * given commodity (or determined automatically, if none is provided).
   * For example, if the amount were 10 AAPL, and on Apr 10, 2000 each
   * share of AAPL was worth $10, then call value() for that moment in
   * time would yield the amount $100.00.
   *
   * Further, for the sake of efficiency and avoiding temporary
   * objects, the following methods support "in-place" variants that
   * act on the amount itself and return a reference to the result
   * (`*this'):
   *
   * in_place_negate()

  /**
   * Parsing methods.  The method `parse' is used to parse an amount
   * from an input stream or a string.  A global operator>> is also
   * defined which simply calls parse on the input stream.  The
   * `parse' method has two forms:
   *
   * parse(istream, flags_t) parses an amount from the given input
   * stream.
   *
   * parse(string, flags_t) parses an amount from the given string.
   *
   * parse(string, flags_t) also parses an amount from a string.
   *
   * The `flags' argument of both parsing may be one or more of the
   * following:
   *
   * AMOUNT_PARSE_NO_MIGRATE means to not pay attention to the way an
   * amount is used.  Ordinarily, if an amount were $100.001, for
   * example, it would cause the default display precision for $ to be
   * "widened" to three decimal places.  If AMOUNT_PARSE_NO_MIGRATE is
   * used, the commodity's default display precision is not changed.
   *
   * AMOUNT_PARSE_NO_REDUCE means not to call in_place_reduce() on the
   * resulting amount after it is parsed.
   *
   * These parsing methods observe the amounts they parse (unless
   * AMOUNT_PARSE_NO_MIGRATE is true), and set the display details of
   * the corresponding commodity accordingly.  This way, amounts do
   * not require commodities to be pre-defined in any way, but merely
   * displays them back to the user in the same fashion as it saw them
   * used.
   *
   * There is also a static convenience method called
   * `parse_conversion' which can be used to define a relationship
   * between scaling commodity values.  For example, Ledger uses it to
   * define the relationships among various time values:
   *
   *   amount_t::parse_conversion("1.0m", "60s"); // a minute is 60 seconds
   *   amount_t::parse_conversion("1.0h", "60m"); // an hour is 60 minutes
