[ $+ [ $nick ] ] ] or [ % $+ [ ping. $+ [ $me ] ] ] I suggest allowing a command like %(ping. $+ $nick) to be equal to [ % $+ [ ping. $+ [ $me ] ] ]. Also allowing stuff like $(Join. $+ $network) so that everything in the () directly concatinated is evaluated then checked against varables or aliases.

OK so it's two identifiers but still it allows the code to be grouped into parentheses. And of course to get the variable name you simply remove the surrounding $eval(). Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

Any other way to evaluate dynamic vars would be incompatible with the scripting language and would break scripts. For example, currently, you can have a variable named %(ping. Changes are worth breaking existing scripts only if they enhance functionality considerably, imo. /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
