An active variable is a variable that expands when it is referenced or assigned to. Now where would that be useful? Any examples?
What happens to the value of the variable when this expansion takes place? Is code what goes into the variable on a reference? Is this like in Scheme where variables can contain functions? Can you give an example of how active variables are defined and used? Or a link. I looked up active variable but didn't get anything.
