Even it seems that the proposal C() is in favor by most people, I'm not convienced that using parenthesis is a good idea, since it might cause confusion with function calls. Ref() is an internal function, but I don't like to see reserved keywords like C or Close used like a function as it would be for C() or Close(). My choice therefore is c...@5 (easy reading "Close AT 5 bars back").
