There was, but I took it out before the release.

I have the code for a simple version of this.  The reason I took it out
was that the value of the variable is not updated until after the target
is completely parsed (that's the simple implementation).

I don't like that: I would like to see the value updated as soon as the
target is recognized (basically as soon as the ":" is grokked by the
parser).

This is much more of a pain so I left out the feature until I could get
back to it and implement it correctly.
