Vince,

Since old_internal_name is at present always the same as internal_name ISTM you 
can just remove it. A tool to update quote sources as F::Q evolves would be 
very helpful. As several users have noted in the ongoing saga of yahoo_json 
it's pretty painful to change them when one is following a lot of stocks.

Regards,
John Ralls
