[GNC] Can Finance::Quote look up bond prices by CUSIP?

[peterb]

Following up on this: I definitely am unable to look up any bonds by CUSIP
at Alphavantage.  I've spot-checked a number of the other sources listed
via gnc-fq-dump and so far have had no luck, so I'd love it if someone
knows what source to use.

To give a specific example: 34540TWD0 is the cusip for a Ford Motor Credit
bond maturing in 2025 (you can look that up here:
https://www.empirasign.com/findabond/34540TWD0/).  But none of the
Finance::Quote sources I've looked at so far can resolve that.  Anyone have
any ideas?

(This is clearly an issue with Finance::Quote and not GnuCash proper, but
I'm hoping someone else has had this issue and found a solution!)
