Library "composite_ticker_cleaner"
Extract a clean symbol from a composite ticker. E.g., (BINANCE:BTCUSD+KRAKEN:BTCUSD)/2 as input will return BTCUSD or BINANCE:BTCUSD

composite_ticker_cleaner_extract_first(symbol, keepexchange)
  Extract the first symbol out of the supplied string (usually ticker.standard(syminfo.tickerid) )
  Parameters:
    symbol: string input string to search in
    keepexchange: bool (optional) Keep exchange in the returned ticker? By default, we only return the symbol without the exchange.
  Returns: first occurrence of a symbol

composite_ticker_cleaner_extract_first(keepexchange)
  Extract the first symbol out of the current tickerid (as provided by ticker.standard(syminfo.tickerid) )
  Parameters:
    keepexchange: bool (optional) Keep exchange in the returned ticker? By default, we only return the symbol without the exchange.
  Returns: first occurrence of a symbol in the current tickerid

This is inspired by the work I did on this indicator:

I needed a similar functionality in another script, so instead of duplicating code, I thought generalizing the process in a library could be helpful for me and others, and will be easier to maintain and upgrade with new features if I need to.
