Beancount has support for per-account booking methods, with the following syntax:
2016-05-01 open Assets:Vanguard:RGAGX "AVERAGE"
It would be nice to support for this in ledger2beancount.
Currently, the only workaround possible is quite awkward, as one has to disable automatic declarations for all accounts, and replicate manually all open directives with l2b blocks.
How to support it properly is debatable. My take: require a dedicated account metadata field (overridable with an option or otherwise) and interpret it as the booking method, e.g. (in ledger syntax):
account Assets:Vanguard:RGAGX
; booking-method: AVERAGE
