That's what we all want, but it's more or less impossible. If your variable do not change type, then you can at least build an array and store its successive values in the array. Then you use the last value for the rest of your computation. Or, as I said in another post, use Compile-Time Function Evaluation: using standard functions, you can be as iterative/imperative as you want.
