    A successful student on this task will:
       * Write various test cases for Ledger-CLI that will clearly show the
         floating point issue.
       * Rework the codebase to use fixed-point arithmetic so those bugs are
         closed.
       * Shepherd the patch upstream.
       * Close any bug tickets in the bug tracker that relate to this issue.
       * Time permitting: verify that other Ledger implementations don't
         face the same problem.
    Note that because this would be a major "bombing run" sort of change,
    there may be some resistance to upstreaming this patch, so this task may
    be harder than it looks on the surface from a community advocacy angle.
 . Build a better test suite for [Ledger-CLI](http://www.ledger-cli.org/).
    Since this project relies so heavily on Ledger-CLI, we'd really like there
    to be a full test coverage for Ledger-CLI.  To do that, a student will

    set up test suites for C++ programs, and likes writing tests.  The student
