Makes no sense. "Include current values" idea means actually do not compress timeframe at all.
Such functionality already exists in the form of functions ValueWhen( boundary_bar, array ) - gives "open" HighestSince( boundary_bar, array ) - gives "high" LowestSince( boundary_bar, array ) - gives "low" "Last" of course is last - does not require any processing in case of "include current values" idea.
