[amibroker] Re: A shorter syntax to reference past elements of array

["markhoff" <markhoff@xxxxxx>]

Even it seems that the proposal C() is in favor by most people, I'm
not convienced that using parenthesis is a good idea, since it might
cause confusion with function calls. Ref() is an internal function,
but I don't like to see reserved keywords like C or Close used like a
function as it would be for C() or Close(). My choice therefore is C@x
(easy reading "Close AT 5 bars back").

Regards,
Markus
