When computing the returns of an asset, transactions of type ASSET_DIVIDEND are not considered. That makes the return rate computed by beangrow substantially different to rates reported by fund managers.

I could not find any justification as to why these transactions are ignored when computing the return rates, and this seems to confuse me as well as other users. See beancount#23 and beancount#26

At least with this small patch, users get a chance to try and see if they get the result they expected.
