Extending (ledger-mode-clean-buffer) with (ledger-post-align-dwim) for description/comments

Hi all,

for a nice and tidy ledger I do two cleaning steps after having my entries in the ledger file and I am wondering how I could combine them to a single step.

First, I run (ledger-mode-clean-buffer) from within emacs to have all my manual edits aligned and everything chronological in order.

Second, I have a macro that jumps to the next comment and runs (ledger-post-align-dwim).

Does anyone know, how I can extend (ledger-mode-clean-buffer) to aling comments as well?

For context, this is how it looks right after csv import:

2023-02-01 GOODWORKS CORP
    ; Really long text with lots of numbers and descrition and a lot of whitespace actually and all the things that make my ledger not so pleasant to look at
    assets:bank:checking       $1000 
    income:salary    $1000

and after cleaning

2023-02-01 GOODWORKS CORP
    ; Really long text with lots of numbers and descrition and a lot
    ; of whitespace actually and all the things that make my ledger
    ; not so pleasant to look at
    assets:bank:checking                       $1000 
    income:salary                              $1000

Does anyone know enough elisp to add the function to ledger-mode-clean-buffer?
(If you have another approach, tidying your ledger, I am also interested in hearing it :slight_smile: )
