Custom indicator on array:is iCustom really not generalizable?

I know that for some indicators there exists an `...OnArray()` version in MQL4 (e.g.: `iMAOnArray()`, `iRSIOnArray()` etc.). But what if I have a custom indicator and I want to calculate that indicator on an array from a custom dataset? It seems iCustom() doesn't support this. I'd be surprised if indicator calculation on an array of values was only possible for a few indicators and this feature wouldn't be generalizable.

Does MQL5 have an iCustomOnArray() implemented?
Does MQL5 offer compatibiliy with MQL4 scripts?

My issues is that a large amount of existing code base out there is still in MQL4. I'd gladly move to MQL5 though if it makes it significantly easier to achieve simple tasks such as the one I mentioned above.
