We should standardize a bit the variable names available for all
commands. I have plan for a Variables class that could be used to set
variables and do the substitutions in a nice uniform way, but of
course I never find the time to do it.
Therefore I think that having this feature in LyX in a general way
would be a good idea, but adding it for such or such command line
because it will be useful for a particular program is a bad idea, IMO.
