Remove some number of account name components from the front of the account name. If the special "unbudgeted" top-level account is present, it is preserved and dropping affects the rest of the account name.

Convert an account name to a regular expression matching it but not its subaccounts.

Convert a list of account names to a tree.

Keep only the first n components of an account name, where n is a positive integer. If n is 0, returns "...".

Elide an account name to fit in the specified width. From the ledger 2.6 news:

  What Ledger now does is that if an account name is too long, it will
  start abbreviating the first parts of the account name down to two
  letters in length.  If this results in a string that is still too
  long, the front will be elided -- not the end.  For example:

    Expenses:Cash           ; OK, not too long
    Ex:Wednesday:Cash       ; Expenses was abbreviated to fit
    Ex:We:Afternoon:Cash    ; Expenses and Wednesday abbreviated
    ; Expenses:Wednesday:Afternoon:Lunch:Snack:Candy:Chocolate:Cash
    ..:Af:Lu:Sn:Ca:Ch:Cash  ; Abbreviated and elided!

Escape an AccountName for use within a regular expression. >>> putStr $ escapeName "First?!*? %)*!#" First?!#$*?$(*) !^

"a:b:c" -> ["a","a:b","a:b:c"]

Sorted unique account names implied by these account names, ie these plus all their parent accounts up to the root. Eg: ["a:b:c","d:e"] -> ["a","a:b","a:b:c","d","d:e"]

Is the first account a parent or other ancestor of (and not the same as) the second ?

From a list of account names, select those which are direct subaccounts of the given account name.
