bean-report produces invalid hledger postings for lots with both a price and a cost

For instance, invoking bean-report hledger with the following journal file:

Even if specifying equal costs and prices does not make sense, this is still legal beancount syntax, and should result in valid hledger data.

Can you move this ticket to https://github.com/beancount/beancount2ledger

There should be a link "Transfer issue" in the lower right corner (there's an arrow to the right).

@MarinBernard I split out the ledger conversion from beancount into a standalone tool called beancount2ledger. Please give this a go.
