Default StdDev - bug or feature

The StdDev indicator uses n rather than n-1 as the denominator. Is this a feature, or a bug, and if a feature, what is the thinking behind it.

thanks
Dave

Dave, I believe this is because the formula implements the standard deviation of the sample (so without Bessel's correction applied).
