Kaligula,

Please don't disturb the horse. It's well beyond deceased and we're not 
trying to make glue. At least I am not. I've made my decision on how 
it's going to be handled. I'm not going to waste any more time beyond 
writing this email on this issue.

My original question in this thread was asking how many of the users (at 
least GnuCash users on the email list) used AlphaVantage for non-US 
traded securities. *No one* responded answering that question, but John 
and I had a decent little discussion of the matter.

For a real solution, I would urge anybody using AlphaVantage for quote 
data to contact AV's support and request that the trade currency be 
added to the JSON returned from the GLOBAL_QUOTE API.

As always, F::Q is community supported software. So anyone is welcome to 
submit a pull request.
