Yes, there are cases when this does not work. Especially
when you buy conditions checks for a new high
buy = Close > Ref( HHV( close, 10 ), -1 )
and your sell is profit-target stop.

I really don't think that these new variables will help
to overcome this issue (their purpose is different -
*price arrays are provided to control the price at which
trade takes place)
But the features that WILL help are:
- the support for profit target stops in back-testing settings
- (experimental) AFL scripting host that will enable parts
written in JScript/VBScript in AFL formulas for coding things
hard/impossible to do in AFL itself.
