A couple months ago I had a discussion with a user who posted an issue 
to Finance::Quote, https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/575


The user assumed that F::Q was more of an integral plug-in to GNC that 
access to all of the fields within the GNC security editor screen. I 
needed to explain more than once that F::Q is a separate utility that is 
executed by GNC, and that GNC only sends the contents of the 
"Symbol/abbreviation" field as the security identifier. Read the issue's 
conversation for more detail.
