        open it if it is unlocked. If it is locked post a QOF_BACKEND_LOCKED error.

        uri and if none is found, create it. If the file or database exists post a
        QOF_BACKED_STORE_EXISTS and return.
        @par
        `SESSION_NEW_OVERWRITE`: Create a new file or database at the provided uri,
        deleting any existing file or database.
        @par
        `SESSION_READ_ONLY`: Find an existing file or database and open it without
        disturbing the lock if it exists or setting one if not. This will also set a

        prevent the backend from saving any edits.
        @par
        `SESSION_BREAK_LOCK`: Find an existing file or database, lock it, and open
        it. If there is already a lock replace it with a new one for this session.

        qof_session_begin() signals failure by queuing errors. After it completes use

    such a book into a book with actual store by using merge_init.

      * value: the value of the item being priced.
      * time: the time the price was valid.

      "Finance::Quote", "user:misc", "user:foo", etc. If the quote came from a user, as a matter of policy,
      you *must* prefix the string you give with "user:". For now, the only other reserved values are
      "Finance::Quote" and "old-file-import". Any string used must be added to the source_list array in
      dialog-price-edit-db.c so that it can be properly translated. (There are unfortunately many strings
      in users' databases, so this string must be translated on output instead of always being used in untranslated form).
