The set tag is completely brain-dead simple. You can do your
own real easy:

UserTag setshow             Order        name
UserTag setshow             hasEndTag
UserTag setshow             PosNumber    1
UserTag setshow             Routine <<EOR
sub {
    my($var,$val) = @_;
    $Scratch->{$var} = $val;
}
EOR

Doesn't even have to be global.

	[setshow newval]Paul[/setshow]

And can still be shown with [scratch newval] later.
