Hi Russell,

Didn't have the time to check your patch yet, but I came up with an
idea: add global variable support to the math parser, so that if you
place a text anywhere in the design assigning to a variable (e.g.
var=10), it will be updated in any of the expressions that reference it.

Cheers,
Tom
