+At present the '%' prefix operator when applied to a scalar variable will 
+return a hash containing the name of the variable and it's value. e.g.

+I'm a bit wary about this.  It fell out of the parser naturally but I think

 Figure out what to do with PARAMS.  They don't get recognised as HASH vars
 so they don't get the same behaviours that it has.  e.g. "a(%b) = c(%b)".
 Here the '%b' isn't expanded as a hash because it's a PARAMS not a HASH.
