Anyway, a variable can't permanently store multi-line strings and you'd very often overrun the ~950 char limit so it wouldn't be much good in a majority of cases. Perhaps it would be good as a feature suggestion to have a &binvar as a second parameter to hold the entire alias definition. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
