Processing speed for embedded palo.eprev or palo.enext functions within rules are very slow especially when more than one function exists in a rule. For demographic modelling where age in the current year depends on age(-1) in year(-1) the time to lookup values dramatically hampers performance. With palo.ealias an attritube like "previous" or "next" could improve performance in nested lookups.

Thanks for the idea. This feature has been evaluated by us and we will not implement it at this time.
