Forums Feature Suggestions About timed/local vars.. AGAIN !

I don't know if this section of the forum is the proper place for this thread, buti'm just doing what i've been advised to do, wich is placing my issue here on the feature suggestions.

Either it's a bug, or a feature that is not set/developed correctly yet, any help will be greatly apperciated.

The whole issue is Here

To simplify it rather than reading through the entire thread, the feature request is to have the ability to change a variable that uses the -u switch to automatically unset after a period of time without losing that timer. Having a new switch to keep that would probably be the best solution.

So...

/set -u60 %var value

To change the value later without losing the remaining time before it is unset, it could have another switch that would still unset the variable after the original 60s completes...

/set -v %var newvalue

That would continue the countdown on the timer from wherever it was when the value was changed.

Additionally, having the ability to obtain the time remaining on that timer using $var(%varname).secs would help as well.
