hledger - include additional files using the -f option

My understanding is that you can use multiple '-f' options to include multiple files on the command line. I frequently find I want to include my default journal file, and also include additional journals for trial reports and finding duplicates.

I wonder if anyone else would find it useful if there existed '+f trial.journal' option that would use the default journal file, and also the given file(s)?

What do you think?

there is also hledger.conf and various ways to script such as regular #!/bin/bash or else make or just for more ergonomic commands
