[GNC] Import Price from CSV Bug? (Robin Chattopadhyay)

Hi Geert-

The intro screen DOES mention the namespace requirement in 3.6, I just
didn’t stop to read it until I found the bug report. It didn’t in 3.5 and
once I got my import working, I stopped reading it.

It was trivial to update my script, but (please forgive my after-the-fact
questioning) wouldn’t it have been cleaner to set a flag for the whole file
to distinguish between currencies and other asset types instead of
requiring the user to add the namespace to each record? In other words, is
there a normal use case for importing both currencies and other assets in
the same file?
