I'd prefer /set to be left alone. It's exactly its simplicity that makes it more reliable than /var. Even if /set was made to accept multiple variables more reliably than /var, I'd still prefer this 'fix' to be applied to /var instead. Why not to both? Because I find it quite handy that *whatever* you enter after the variable name in /set is guaranteed to be evaluated as in any other command (even if you enter math expressions, provided you use the -n switch, which btw /var lacks). Making /set accept multiple vars would mean you could no longer do things like
/set %a blah, %b
and have %a set to "blah, <value of %b>". This may not sound like a big deal, but I've needed this sort of functionality more often than I've needed to set multiple global variables. Others may have different needs of course.
