New issue 138: Make it possible to use account names with a single character. https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/138/make-it-possible-to-use-account-names-with
Martin Blais: I'm not 100% sure, but I think the limitation is related to the lexer. The grammar for flags plays not to nicely with other things, and I think this is one of them. However, I think I _may_ be able to change the definition to that of Alan's suggestion for account name components beyond the first one.

Does it make parsing easier or is it just a matter of preference? I have some holdings of stock with single letter tickers and it'd be nice to use their actual tickers in account and commodity names. Obviously not a big deal, just a minor annoyance, but if it's a trivial change to the grammar I'd welcome it. I'll dig into the codebase at some point but I'm just now learning Python so it might be a while.
