I've had a few looks at that code myself in preparing fixes to the QIF
importer. It looks like it's in need of a more substantial rewrite to use
GUID's, for example. Another problem: with the stock exchanges being hard
coded, they are also stuck in English (such as "FUND").

Yes. I'm sure this is just a matter of someone having time to do it, but
even adding a few new hard coded exchanges would be an improvement (such as
"LSE").
