Hi Patrick,

Slightly off-topic but since we talk about escaping stuff:

It would be very nice to have a possibility to escape the *contents* of 
PageVariables and PageTextVariables such as {=$LastModifiedSummary} or 
{=$:Categories}. The reason if the contents of a page variable contains some 
important directive, that it be not applied to the current page, but to 
display only the escaped text contents.

Currently either [==] and [@@] will display just "{=$:Categories}" without 
expanding the content which may be "[[!Uploads]], [[!Images]]". It should be 
able to do [={=$:Categories}=] and this should mean [=[[!Uploads]], 
[[!Images]]=] and display plain text "[[!Uploads]], [[!Images]]" without 
links.

Such a feature would be especially usefull on watch-lists (pagelists of 
selected post recently modified pages).

Thanks,
Petko
