variable helper

[ray73864]

Is it possible to have a 'variable' type helper?

With Handlebars (which a lot of my old stuff uses) I have a helper called 'var', this helper is defined as

Handlebars.registerHelper('var', function(name, value, context) { this[name] = value; });

Then in code I would do

{{var myVariable "Test"}}

Then I could access that variable by doing

{{myVariable}}

Is there any way to do something similar with Template7?

Actually, looking at it further, it does work, but not with anything more complex.

So as above it works fine, but if I do

{{ var "myVariable" ( myHelper "test" ) }}

Where 'myHelper' might be defined as

Template7.registerHelper('myHelper', function(val) { return val; });

And then I later on call that variable by doing

{{myVariable}}

Template7 comes back with a

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token (
    at Template7Class.compile (template7.js:600)
    at Function.Template7.compile (template7.js:649)

This is using Template7 1.4.1, i've also tried 1.3.6 (which is what I was using earlier)
