If we want to introduce operators, we'll need to provide controls in the
configuration variables page to set them, together with help to explain
what each of them means. Considering that we are implementing special
controls to ease the manipulation of certain variables, I would need to
find a way of inserting the operator control so that it works in all cases
(and not only when we simply have a text field to set the variable value).


I raised this question when we were designing the variables page, and the
answer was not to include operators. I would rather not do it now at this
late stage, to be honest. With what we have left in the release, I rather
go for the simplest acceptable solution.
