+# $EPIC: builtin_expando.txt,v 1.2 2006/07/17 19:41:50 sthalik Exp $
+======Synopsis:======
+$__builtin_expando__(<expando name>)
+======Technical:======
+   * If the <expando name> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
+   * If the inline expando <expando name> does not exist, the empty string is returned.
+   * This function returns the value that would be returned by the "inline expando" $<expando name>.
+======Practical:======
+The [[special vars|inline expandos]] ($A, $B, $C, etc) can be overridden by
+user variables (eg, /assign A testing).  If you need to call the underline
+inline expando and to be sure that you won't be thwarted by an assign alias,
+then you can call this function to invoke the inline expando.
+======Example:======
+<file>
+$builtin_expando(N)     returns your current nickname
+$builtin_expando(C)     returns the current channel of the current window
+</file>
+======Returns:======
+The value of the inline expando $<expando name>
