I just ran through the gc Price Editor quote-source options again.  The
new gc f::q option for "single=>Yahoo as JSON", which wasn't there when
I ran thru the options on an earlier rev of f::q, does apparently
*work* for the metals.

For "Yahoo as JSON" the symbol for XAG into USD is XAGUSD=X and XAU is
XAUUSD=X. 

The quotes are delayed by some undetermined amount of time whereas the
alphavantage currency quotes are real time but this is VERY good to
have (for as long as yahoo allows it to exist). 

Thanks very much for your work, Erik. (And thanks also, John, for gc).
