should ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY be a system or user variable

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

My personal feeling is that "it depends."  If you're running on a
multiuser server then yes, it should probably be per-user.  If it's just
your home machine, then it can be a system variable.  I suspect most users
fall into the latter category and not the former.
