Please, calm down, Bruce :) That was just an idea.
If I knew Perl as much as I know JavaScript I'd submit a PR yesterday.
(I know, I made a few modules for private use, they're on my GitHub –
but it involved much much much more learning than actual writing, and it
was long ago).
Nevermind. Have a nice day :)
Best regards,
Kaligula

In general the suffix idea looks like a nice workaround – but I'd
like to throw in my two cents.
So maybe a general solution in case of AV module pricing errors – a
".???" suffix (to any ticker, not only LSE ones) where the "???" is
the currency that the security is traded in? (Or even better with a
":???" suffix, to avoid confusion with stock exchange suffixes). This
would allow the user to inform the AV module about changes in
default currency – e.g. "GBP.L:GPX" or "MVOL.L:USD".
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.

P.S. Likely any further responses with suggestions or ideas related to
this issue will be ignored. Please let the Equus ferus caballus rest
in peace.
