I have a data series which decreases, then increases, then decreases even more,
then increases less than before and so on. Think of global winter and summer
rainfall over the long run, for instance.
Then I'm interested not only in the absolute maximum (which start=1 will
return), but also the local maxima further down the road, for which I must filter
the first points in the series.
