Comment (by was):
I'm against deprecating var.
It is also common for a Python function to do something with side effects
-- e.g., run a subprocess -- and also return some information about what
it did, e.g., the exit code. This is computer programming, not
mathematics.
I prefer
%var x, y
to
var x, y
by the way, since we have been generally deprecated non-% special
commands. I was annoyed at first by, e.g., Jason Grout doing this, but
I've come around.
