-The rule execution order was constructed because
-path-dependent rules may modify the ability of rules that
-have not fired yet to be evaluated.  For example, a risk
-rule may flatten (close out) an entire position and put new
-orders on hold, effectively stopping all further execution
-of the strategy. Another example would be a rebalancing
-rule function that would enter orders to rebalance the
-portfolio, and would hold other strategy processing until
-the rebalancing period was over.

-The \code{timespan} parameter will limit rule execution by
-time of day using time based subsetting.  See ISO-8601
-specification and xts documentation for more details.  Note
-that these are only applicable to intra-day execution, and
-will remain that way barring patches (tests and
-documentation) from interested parties.  The subsetting may
-(will likely) work with normal ISO/xts subset ranges, but
-consider it unsupported.

-The \code{name} parameter should be a character string
-naming the function to be called in the
-\code{\link{applyRules}} loop. The \code{add.rule} function
-will then call \code{\link{match.fun}}, ands store the
-actual function in your strategy object. This will avoid

-For quantstrat to be able to (largly) vectorize the

-function is presumed to have a function signature like that
-of \code{\link{ruleSignal}}, specifically the arguments
-\code{sigcol} and \code{sigval}.  If these are present and

-can do some preprocessing to significantly reduce the

-speedup is the ratio of (symbols\*total
-observations)/signal observations, so it can be significant
-for many strategies.
