Hello all,
Setting up some tests to work with the v0.85 code, I notice that the
suggestion in the manual
\edef\pdfhorigin{\pdfvariable horigin}
yields with \show\pdfhorigin
\pdf_horigin=\pdf_horigin
which is accessible using \csname or catcode changes. That seems odd
based on the fact this change has been made at all: is this a passing bug?

Related to this, I wonder if \pdfvariable should be (effectively)
\protected. Normally one would expect primitives to either fully expand
to a result or to act like \protected macros. Here, we have an
intermediate case as \pdfvariable does expand but only as far as an
internal token.
you can wrap it like you want:
\protected\def\pdfhorigin{\pdfvariable horigin}
