The Beancount documentation says it supports "total cost" or "total price" 
using @@ 
symbols: https://beancount.github.io/docs/beancount_language_syntax.html

The grammar file of Beancount also has separate, distinct entries for @ and 
@@. 

I do currency exchanges(with no additional, explicit fees). For me, it is 
cleaner to declare the amount I paid and received than only the amount I 
paid and fiddle with the many digits of the exchange rate.
For example, this is what I would like to have:
2025-01-01 * "Exchanged to GBP"
  Assets:Bank:EUR  -117 EUR @@ 100 GBP
  Assets:Bank:GBP

And this is what I would like to avoid:
2025-01-01 * "Exchanged to GBP"
  Assets:Bank:EUR  -117 EUR @ 0.854700855 GBP
  Assets:Bank:GBP

I'm writing an importer by extending beangulp.importers.csvbase.Importer 
and I'm using beancount.core.data. I couldn't find any reference in the 
documentation how to declare total cost(@@) using the python API.

Is it possible to generate clean records of currency exchanges using an 
importer script where the transaction only declares the total amount paid 
and received?
