In terms of functionality, yes. But I find that things are much easier to learn, to teach, and to remember when they are consistent. So if getting $irf is too complicated and we can't have a $irf/$fevd pair, then I would suggest the other route and introduce an analogous fevd() function to have a matching irf() and fevd() pair. The args for fevd() would be: - integer target (like irf), default 0 (meaning all) - integer shock (like irf), default 0 (meaning all) - bundle $system lookalike, as in the future irf(), default null A plain call without explicit arguments would then be equivalent to the current $fevd (which would remain in place).
