Re: Setting default variable

[Paul Krizak]

Couldn't you just use "any" for that?

any::
        var1 = default
        var2 = default
        var3 = default

var1class::
        var1 = new value

var2class::
        var2 = new value

var3class::
        var3 = new value

This would give you "defaults" without having to explicitly state things 
like "!var1class".

If you want to suppress warnings about overwriting variables, put in 
something like

AllowRedefinitionOf = ( var1 var2 var3 )

in the control section.
