@above in analyses other than tran and dc sweep

Hi

In the LRM 2.3.1, there is

"The above() function can generate an event during initialization. If 
the expression is positive at the conclusion
of the initial condition analysis that precedes a transient analysis, 
the above() function shall generate
an event. In contrast, the cross() function can only generate an event 
after the simulation time has
advanced from zero. The cross() function will not generate events for 
non-transient analyses, such as ac,
dc, or noise analyses of SPICE (see 4.6.1), but the above() function 
can. During a dc sweep, the
above() function shall also generate an event when the expression 
crosses zero from below; however, the
step size of the dc sweep is not controlled to accurately resolve the 
crossing."

Is dc sweep the only non-transient analysis for which @above can 
generate events, or should it fire for any analysis where a value has 
the notion of "previous value" and that value passes from below to above 0?
