Thanks for the cheat idea Mike. I wasn't really expecting any help from the 
tooling itself. Just hoping that there might be some trickery within the DSL 
that I could try, to generate some code which would set up a variable for me.

Unfortunately I do need to combine LHS sentences and multiple RHS sentences, so 
your idea isn't really an option in this case. :(

As it is I have created a little enumeration in the RHS sentence, and it's not 
looking too bad. At least, with some selective wording, it doesn't look 
completely redundant!
