New issue 192: Make it possible to use single letter as commodity name
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/192/make-it-possible-to-use-single-letter-as

Hi Martin,
this is a similar issue to #138. I recently found out that Beancount currently
does not allow single-letter commodity name. A minimal reproducible example:
```
1970-01-01 commodity USD
1970-01-01 commodity V
2017-09-01 open Assets:SingleLetter:X
2017-09-01 open Assets:Trade:Cash USD
2017-09-01 open Assets:Trade:Positions "FIFO"
2017-09-13 * "Buy 10 shares of Visa"
Assets:Trade:Cash -1000.00 USD
Assets:Trade:Positions +10.00 V { 100.00 USD }
```
A bean-check shows:
```
single-letter.beancount:2: Invalid token: 'V'
single-letter.beancount:10: Invalid token: 'V'
```
It seems that single-letter account names do not trigger errors any more (line
4) since #138 is resolved, but single-letter commodity names are still not
allowed (line 2 and line 10).
Could you please make single-letter commodity possible? I would like to make
pull request but I do not know how to write C code...
