You have to use commodity directives.

Nope. The simple (and obvious when you think about it) answer is that
tickers aren't globally unique, they are simply unique to an exchange.
(Because why would exchanges care if a symbol is globally unique or not as
long as it is unique on their exchange?) Since tickers aren't globally
unique, how do you "automatically" determine an exchange and ticker?
Take "VEU" as an example. Do you mean the Vanguard FTSE All World ex-US ETF
that is listed on ARCX in the US? Or the one listed on the ASX in
Australia? Or the ones that Vanguard is about to list on exchanges in
Europe now that they've expanded abroad?
Is SPY the SPY on ARCX or the ASX?
Is GOOGL ("Alphabet Inc A") the one on XNAS (quoted in USD) or XMIL (quoted
in Euros)?
Is GE the one on the NYSE or the one on XMIL (GE Gefran SpA)?
And so on. If your answer is "well, I'm an American so it should default to
picking all the things an American would pick....", I'm willing to accept a
--american patch but I'm Australian. :)
