/** @addtogroup Commodity Commodities
    A commodity is something of value that is easily tradeable or
    sellable; for example, currencies, stocks, bonds, grain,
    copper, and oil are all commodities.  This file provides
    an API for defining a commodities, and for working with
    collections of commodities.  All GnuCash financial transactions
    must identify the commodity that is being traded.

    @warning The system used here does not follow the object
    handling and identification system (GncGUID's, Entities, etc.)
    that the other parts of GnuCash use.  The API really should be
    ported over.  This would allow us to get rid of the
    commodity table routines defined below.
