`pattern`	an optional regular expression. Only names matching ‘pattern’ are returned.
`match`	return only exact matches?
`verbose`	be verbose?
`include.series`	should future_series or option_series instruments be included.
`x`	what to remove. if not supplied all instruments of relevent class will be removed. For `ls_defined.by` x is the string describing how the instrument was defined.
`keep.currencies`	If TRUE, currencies will not be deleted.
`includeFX`	should exchange_rates be included in ls_non_currencies results

ls functions return the names of all the instruments of the class implied by the function name. rm functions remove the instruments of the class implied by the function name

rm_instruments and rm_non_derivatives will not delete currencies unless the keep.currencies argument is FALSE.

For the rm functions, x can be a vector of instrument names, or nothing. If x is missing, all instruments of the relevant type will be removed.

It can be useful to nest these functions to get things like futures denominated in USD.

ls functions return vector of character strings corresponding to instruments of requested type rm functions are called for side-effect
