ElIsAnc function.

A small change to the way the ElIsAnc function would be great.
At the moment the ElIsAnc function does not include the parent we are testing as a positive result. Typically when we use ElIsAnc in rules we have to do two if statement checks if we are interested in the results in at the C level
[]=C:IF(ELISANC('Dim','GTPL 100000000000',!Dim)>0 & !Dim@='GTPL 100000000000',STET, 'Blah');
If the parent element of the dimension was included in the positive result set then this would simplfy the use of this function.
I can't really see a downside to this, any views?
Cheers,
