Given this journal in foo.hledger:

2022/01/27 foo
    asset:current                                  3
    ; some comment
    asset:receivables                             -3 = -3

2022/08/27 foo
    asset:current                                 -3
    asset:receivables                              3

I get this error message:

$ hledger -f foo.hledger check recentassertions
hledger: Error: /tmp/foo.hledger:4:54:
  | 2022-01-27 foo
  |     asset:current                   3
3 |     ; some comment
  |                                       ^^^^
  |     asset:receivables              -3 = -3

The recentassertions check is enabled, ...

Note the position of the ^^^^ which seems wrong.
