Comment #2 on issue 1556 by burraa2...@gmail.com: Keywords with Embeded Arguments do not Resolve Variables in Regular Expressions
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1556

I definitely see your point about variable values changing after the regex compile but before the use of the keyword. This would indeed create a really bad and difficult problem to debug, especially since robot runs print test case lines as is, without the variable resolution.

In my use case it wouldn't change, but I could see how an accident would. Since Robot Framework lacks some sort of constant, then there would be no way of really safeguarding against this. We may just have to give really

I'll give implementing this a shot, but I obviously don't have the full picture that you have, working on the development side of the framework for that time. I'll give it a shot though.

But I'll also take this is a sign we need to redesign our keywords somewhat, as having huge regex'es repeated probably isn't ideal.
