 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__getset__(<set name>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +   * If the <set name> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
 +   * If the set variable <set name> does not exist, the empty string is returned.
 +   * This function returns the value that would be returned by the "set value" $<set name>.
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +The built in set values ($DISPLAY, $INSERT_MODE, $DISPLAY_ANSI) can be
 +overridden by user variables (eg, /assign DISPLAY testing).
 +
 +If you need to get the value of the underlying /SET value and not be
 +thwarted by an assign alias, you can call this function to get the
 +/SET's value.
 +
 +======Example:======
 +<file>
 +$builtin_expando(DISPLAY)     returns the value of /SET DISPLAY
 +$builtin_expando(DEBUG)       returns the value of /SET DEBUG
 +</file>
 +
 +======History:======
 +This function first appeared in EPIC4pre2.400.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +The value of the set variable $<set name>
