	When your .zephyr.desc file contains code of the form:

show
	Today, it is @bold($weather) in spain.
endshow

	and $weather is set to "<raining>", then what is displayed is
Today, it is <raining>) in spain.
	instead of the proper:
Today, it is <raining> in spain.

	This bug has been in zwgc for several releases now.  A work
around for now is to do the following:

set foo raining
set weather <$foo>
show
	Today, it is @bold($weather) in spain.
endshow

	Don't ask me why this works.  It just does.
