In the future, code _may_ be added to methods "yahoo_json", "yahooweb", 
"financeapi", and others that will check if the symbol to be queried is 
a valid ISIN code. If it is a valid ISIN, add the appropriate suffix 
based on the 2-letter country code.

For example,

GB -> .L
DE -> .SG

I hope that this would help novices to F::Q.
