Re: @above in analyses other than tran and dc sweep

Verilog-AMS doesn't provide a way to access ac quantities:
frequency, the ac current/voltage, etc.  So, I'm not sure
what expression you imagine could cross zero.

Some simulators do allow you to do a single-frequency ac
analysis with a swept operating point; I would expect that
to be treated like a dc sweep for the purposes of @above.
