Seems like an X-Y response. The meaning of a hack is clear, although this
is more of a tweak, and where it occurs hardly matters if it's not part of
a PR. A response in terms of using existing report/module code in a new

I can't see how.
Firstly, from previous comments, people don't seem to understand my

but your question is obviously about understanding the practical impact

David, the guide even warns that accounting debits and credits are

likely bet they are wrong.
