+<h1>Variable Expansion</h1>
+
+<h2>Abstract</h2>
+
+OSSP var is a flexible, full-featured and fast variable construct
+expansion library. It supports a configurable variable construct
+syntax very similar to the style found in many scripting languages
+(like <tt>@name</tt>, <tt>${name}</tt>, <tt>$(name)</tt>, etc.)
+and provides both simple scalar (<tt>${name}</tt>) and array
+(<tt>${name[index]}</tt>) expansion, plus optionally one or more
+post-operations on the expanded value (<tt>${name:op:op...}</tt>).
+
+<p>
+The supported post-operations are length determination, case conversion,
+defaults, postive and negative alternatives, sub-strings, regular
+expression based substitutions, character translations, and padding.
+Additionally, a meta-construct plus arithmetic expressions for index and
+range calculations allow (even nested) iterations over array variable
+expansions (<tt>..[..${name[#+1]}..]..</tt>). The actual variable value
+lookup is performed through a callback function, so OSSP var can expand
+arbitrary values.
+

+<blockquote>
+<font size=-1>
+Hint: There is also an ISO C++ derivative of the OSSP var library, named
+<a href="http://cryp.to/libvarexp/">libvarexp</a>. It is based on
+a development version of OSSP var and hence does not provide exactly
+the same amount of functionality. But it provides an ISO C++ API and so
+can be of interest to you if you are programming in ISO C++ (where OSSP
+var's ISO C API might be too boring for you).
