    Currently Ledger-CLI uses floating point arithmetic, which is definitely a
    mistake for an accounting system.  This causes
    [off-by-one bugs](http://bugs.ledger-cli.org/show_bug.cgi?id=992) on some
    types of transactions.  This should be fixed.
    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.
         * Time permitting: verify that other Ledger implementations don't
           face the same problem.

 . 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
    need to be already somewhat familiar C++ and willing to learn about how to
