Now that made me so weird that i finally (it was in TODO)
implemented a different syntax that reminds of sh(1)ell
redirection.  In v14.10 we will instead have

 \local >_smime-sign-cert fop expand "$_smime-sign-cert"
 \local >sec vexpr seconds
 local pp local >i$((i = 1 + 1)) global vpospar quote

Ie instead of "vput CMD VAR" there is ">VAR CMD" in "natural"
order.  I have completely switched the syntax, and obsoleted vput.
The > modifier can then later also be extended, maybe >{varname}
and >&filename or so, but for now i am happy.  Except that now the
history entry of

  local pp local >i$((i = 1 + 1)) global vpospar quote

says for example

  local pp local >i2 global vpospar quote

which is not optimal (like history in general).  But i am afraid
that fix not in v14.10(.0, at least).  I hope for Christmas.

A nice Sunday i wish, i hope you can.
Ciao!
