Forums Feature Suggestions Updating variable: %!var

We can't get this because %!variable is already a valid variable name, adding this would break scripts, you can use the simple $+ to workaround this:

Hmm, that goes way back... There shouldn't be any issues with finding wildcard matches for timers should there?
