I certainly agree with the last lines. On line AFL is a nice feature 
for adding such info.
This has nothing to do with the request for a StochD(Array,var) 
function. IMO, it is not priority No1 now.
I have already prepared similar [and useful, not only for fun] 
formulas with variable periods. You will see the same people who ask 
this vote list, unhappy again for complicated codes etc. etc.
AFL is powerful for stocks study and application, codes alone is 
nothing. 
If you take a look at this list reference, the discussion for 
variable inputs is more than 2 years old. Many functions do include 
this possibility since 3.50 or so. People just donīt read the manual 
[perhaps they donīt even need it].
