New description:

 {{{
 @() file creation and substitution should work in
 regular variable contexts. For example:

 # creates the test.txt file and sets file to "test.txt"
 local file = @(test.txt:E=$(test-content)) ;

 # equivalent of ECHO, but to the error stream
 local unused = @(STDERR:E="this is an error") ;
 }}}
