Linn--
One subtle but important point: the lag operator is not the same as
explicit subscripting when there are gaps, so sometimes you want L.x
and sometimes you want x[_n-1] but usually the former is safer and
better, and you can always get a construct like x[_n-1] with a lag
operator by defining a new time index as _n. As far as I know, the
only real advantage of explicit subscripting is that you can use other
variables in the square brackets.
