Ok, a few things are left to hash out.
vars get -list has the troublesome problem that you might have a
variable called -list.
var -list get foo
var get foo
maybe we don't need the get?
var foo
var -list foo
This makes it pretty easy to check and see if objc is 3 or more.
Hrm... but how to get out the 'whole' list.
var -all
Means you could have a variable called -all...
Do we want to support multiple values?
var -list foo bar baz
