Yahoo really borked uk.finance. Requesting a date (d1) is a no-op for ticker.exchange requests (BAY.L), but it returns "N/A" for fund quotes. Ack. And a 'l1' request returns 2 fields, throwing off the currency request at the end of the queue.

I opened a bug at the CPAN tracker. It has been listed as "enhancement request" since the docs don't claim f-q handles fund requests. I'll see if I can figure how to get gnucash to accept the results of my changes -- but that might require waiting for both f-q 1.15 and gnucash (next after f-q 1.15) to get matching behavior. Maybe the finance-quote upstream will figure out a clean patch that solves the problem.
