Why? Suppose I want a variable to have value '234' for a while, then to have
value '123' - but without anything being visible on the document. Say, because
I intend to use this value in other fields which do result in text appearing in
the document. Is that not a reasonable request?

Of course, there's the problem of how to indicate this has happened when the
field results in no text.
