Major-mode = text-mode (just because I don't use it for anything else. It's 
my fake major-beancount.)
Minor-modes = beancount, orgstruct, yasnippet, company.

I also customized alignment rules (emacs built-in) for text-mode. I am 
actually learning some bits. The fact is I have other priorities than 
dealing with elisp code. And actually I would be happier if you (Blais) 
continue to focus on beancount (not for emacs) or fava. I see a lot of work 
for 2019: close issues or shrink/update documentation :-) or make 
enhancements, for instance. I think beancount deserves a major-mode for 
emacs BUT please, don't waste your time. I can survive with notepad if 
needed (it's not) and anyone are free to choose an editor (Sublime, 
Notepad++, VSCode, ...). If you pay attention only to emacs you'll never 
reach 100% "customer satisfaction". So please only do for you.
