Could you make it clearer in the documentation for the Expressions that the operators (AND/OR/NOT, etc.) cannot be used as variable names within expressions? I wondered about this, and had to test it to find out.

On another note, could you make an "index" or "map" page for the online docs? Sometimes I prefer them to the compiled html help that comes with the installation, but I find it hard to locate certain things sometimes, like arrays, expressions, variables, etc.

I considered doing that but the distraction did not seem worth it given the obscurity and rarity of this issue. Opinions to the contrary are welcome.

It should also be noted that entirely-numeric variable names -- such as incoming command line args -- are also not supported in expressions. Although this will be a more common occurrence than the above, it is also more obvious to anyone writing an expression why it can't work. So that's my current reason for not mentioning it. Opinions are welcome.

Great suggestion and it's something that is definitely missing. I've added it to the informal to-do list.
