The point is to be able to write explorations and system tests against
indicators that have been applied to multiple periods.

Doing as you suggest will not provide the ability to do this.

I'm still working on my reply to Paul, Rick, and the list.  (And to announce
a winner in the "Dinner in San Francisco Challenge.")  My wife though
doesn't believe that I've really got the flu (and I do) if I fool around
with this list very much <G> so it's taking me awhile.
