So it becomes an exception. Sorry, I don't like exceptions, especially 
when they're unnecessary.

And if they are necessary, we need to reevaluate the problem at an XWT 
Spec level.

Making something crystal clear won't held someone debug when the 
variable is being magically set by a template preapplied by a template 
that's postapplied to one of their custom templates they're preapplying 
to this situation. Especially when you can't grep for the work because 
it's put together in some shitting case statement that creates the 
string and then uses box["myvar"] for referencing.

*shudder*.
