``expat-fatcat`` helps US taxpayers living abroad file their tax returns to
comply with the IRS and
FATCA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Account_Tax_Compliance_Act).
A significant pain point in this process is that foreign payments (income
or deductions) must sometimes be converted to USD with a valid rate on the date
of payment. This can readily add up to 40+ historical FX-rates to look up and
then paste into the usual Excel accounting madness. Some people may consider a
little copy-paste drudge work once a year a minor annoyance, but what are
programming and APIs for if not injecting some fun into an otherwise dreary
task?

The core functionality of ``expat-fatcat`` is an historical FX-rate lookup with
smoothing in case of a missing exhange rate. Currently, we use the FX-service
Quandl (https://www.quandl.com/) in ``QuandlRateCoverterToUSD``, which is a
sub-class of ``AbsRateConverterTo``. Other FX-rate services could be readily
integrated as required.
