Module prelude 

The everyday vocabulary in one import: the façades, the one error, the values and drafts of drafting, recording and reading, the five common currencies and the two literal macros.

use doubleentry::prelude::*;

let mut books = Journal::new(LedgerId::new("example.com/acme")?).as_actor("setup");
books.declare_currency(EUR, 2, date!("2026-01-01"))?;
books.open("Assets:Cash", AccountKind::Asset, date!("2026-01-01"))?;
books.open("Income:Sales", AccountKind::Income, date!("2026-01-01"))?;
books.define_months(2026, 3..=3)?;
let recorded: Recorded = books.record(
    Entry::new("invoice-2026-0001", date!("2026-03-15"))
        .debit("Assets:Cash", amount!("1190.00"), EUR)
        .credit("Income:Sales", amount!("1190.00"), EUR),
)?;
assert!(!recorded.replayed);

Everything else — stores, proofs beyond InclusionProof, report types beyond BalanceQuery, transparency, testing — is imported by name from its one path. The prelude is the only second path to any item.
