Function returning a constant-valued time series

[gnosek]

I'd like to graph the current alert threshold along with metric values. Can I pretty please have a function that returns a time series containing a stream of constant values?

Will be something like:

hline(number, "tagkey", startDuration, endDuration)

And will return a series with tagged with the tagkey. Will return a series with two datapoints, and (now-StartDuration, number) and (now-endDuration, number). Stream isn't needed since to draw a line you just need two points.

can we generalize it to just line(startNumber, endNumber, "tagkey", startDuration, endDuration)?

[kylebrandt]

Use case for that?

wanting to show a linear increase of a noisy metic. Like linelr but manually specifying values

[gbrayut]

Id also rather see one line function than hline() and slopeline()

Can use the series func to do this now.
