Computing prices on the fly is nice. However, using it with bean-price doesn't seem ideal. For example, the required USD/EUR prices are not fetched by --update if I don't have any USD myself.
Would it be a good idea to have some sort of pipe syntax for bean-price? Something like EUR:(source1/ticker1>source2/ticker2) that would first fetch the price of ticker1 and then convert the currency base using ticker2? It can just be a chain of multiplication since '^' would take care of divisions.
