Skipping the currency conversion when it's not needed does indeed sound 
like a good idea. And as long as Yahoo does not block the 
query1.finance.yahoo.com/v11/finance/... URL, there is now a 
CurrencyRates::YahooJSON currency module. Not sure if want to make it 
the default, but currently users can set an environment variable "export 
FQ_CURRENCY=YahooJSON" to use it instead of AlphaVantage.

Thanks.
