I was interested in variables because I wanted to type less.
The variable above is useless for me.

And I've just realized that I can't use variables for environment 
definitions, which is what I would really need to "shorten".
For example:

environment scheme delim '#\'?\(' ")" multiline nested begin
   environment scheme delim "(" ")" multiline nested begin
     include "url.lang"
   end
   environment string delim "\"" "\"" multiline begin
     include "url.lang"
   end
end

I think I'll go back and use the list.
Thanks anyway for your advices,
Federico
