SET - assign the value of an expression to a variable.
- $*$SEt var = expression
- sets a variable to the value of the given expression.
The type of the variable is the type of the expression's result.
The "=" after the variable name may be omitted.
If "expression" is a string expression, the string may contain
the '*' escape sequences described in "expl if".
For example, you can use *" to stand for a double quote character.
Contrast this with $*$IniT, where characters are taken literally
and *" would be taken as an asterisk followed by a double quote.
