Hello guys,

This is a bjam language problem I faced in practice. Hope you could bear me
a hand!

I want for example to declare variable
var = [ some-rule some_param1 : some_param2 ]"bla" ;
the same way I declare it using variable addressing:
other_var = "some text" ;
var = $(other_var)"bla" ;

Execution of bjam expression
var = [ some-rule some_param1 : some_param2 ]"bla" ;
results in the error "syntax error at keyword ;".
Changing this to expression var = [ some-rule some_param1 : some_param2 ]
"bla" ; works without errors but this is not exactly what I want to achieve
- a list of two strings instead of just single string.
Is there a way to overcome this without definition of temporary variables
with :J= modifier?
