[Quantlib-dev] I think I have a need for another pricing engine for the bond instrument

[Nathan A. <nka...@gm...>]

I think I have a need for another pricing engine for the bond instrument. My
users want to place bond in a portfolio that contains different type of
instruments. Right now, I place all the instruments in a collection and then
loop through the collection and call the NPV method of each instrument. The
problem is that the user wants the NPV of the bond to be the amount
purchased * clean price  / 100.  I am thinking the best way to solve this
problem is to create another pricing engine for the bond that calculates the
NPV of the bond to equal the amount purchased * the clean price / 100.  Is
this a common proiblem? If I wrote the engine, would people want it include
in QuantLib?
