We definitely aren't afraid to open the door to feature requests!
We'll be honest when a requested feature is something we are unable to implement or do not plan on implementing at this time. However, if it is something that we can implement and will help you and help the site, we are always willing to look into new features.
In fact, as requested here is a new correlation function:
Correlation (corr)
Below is an example that may help. Basically looks for stocks whose price was positively correlated to SPY over the last 100 days (starting 30 days ago) but have become negatively correlated within the last 30 days.
This function deviates from your request in that only 1 symbol is specified. Obviously, you can focus the results using the "apply to symlist" and "apply to watchlist" features. You can also focus results to specific correlations using the "ind()" function. For example:
The above will create a constant variable which is the correlation two specific equities.
Hope that helps!

Also, a quick follow-up on the original request. We have created two new functions:
SfPosDiv(ind1, ind2, period, pctChg)
SfNegDiv(ind1, ind2, period, pctChg)
Note: these functions are part of a new feature that allows for custom user defined functions. In essence these functions are based on the exact code you specified.
While we do not have a release date for opening up this feature, we are hoping to allow custom user functions in the near future. You'll also notice the legends on the charts are somewhat lengthy, we hope to fix that with future updates to the user-defined functions feature.
Examples:
Comparing with your original:

*****WHAT does THE pctChg represent?

Two separate functions would also work
posdiv(indicator1, indicator2, X, Y) would return a "1" if these conditions are met and a positive divergence is seen, and a 0 if they are not met.
negdiv(indicator1, indicator2, X, Y) would return a "1" if these conditions are met and a negative divergence is seen, and a 0 if they are not met.
*******what does the (....,X,Y) represent?

*****WHAT does THE pctChg represent?
++++++++++++++++++
Each of the two indicators being evaluated must have changed by at least pctChg over the period under review. Example - the MACD goes up 3% in 10 days and price goes down 2%. If pctChg is 0.02 a divergence is signaled, but if it is 0.025 no signal is generated. My thinking on this was to eliminate small noise related moves - what this particular incarnation does not pick out is a strong move in one indicator with a flat response in the other. Technically a divergence but not one where the two are actually moving in opposite directions.

Basically the same as above - X is the period in days over which the divergence is being measured, and Y is the minimum percent change required by both indicators to generate a signal.

A divergence function result will be pos, neg, or zero. Do not need 2 separate functions when one will work. FIlter based on the amount of divergence and the sign of the value.

SF code is designed to return a binary value in this type of circumstance - either a 1 or 0. Therefore I wrote my snippet of code as two separate functions, one for positive divergence and one for negative. To me this structure is fine, this I want to be looking for a specific type of divergence in my trade setups.
