I have a question about the currency accounts section.

For this example:

2020-06-02 * "Bought document camera"
  Expenses:Work:Conference      59.98 EUR @ USD
  Liabilities:CreditCard       -87.54 USD
  Equity:CurrencyAccounts:EUR  -59.98 EUR
  Equity:CurrencyAccounts:USD   97.54 USD

is the idea that I just enter the first three lines in my .beancount
file, and the last two postings will be implicitly added? If so, that
matches closely with what I already do, which is great.

I do not separate my trading accounts by currency, so I have been able
to get away with just writing something like this:

2020-06-02 * "Bought document camera"
  Expenses:Work:Conference      59.98 EUR
  Liabilities:CreditCard       -87.54 USD
  Equity:Trade

and let Beancount fill in the Equity:Trade amounts. This is not too
painful to do manually.
