Why does "Result" get special rendering in macro editor?

[Charlweed]

I'm trying to debug some old macros that my buddy wrote. We have been using 1.4.0.5 for years, and are now upgrading to 1.5.14. I just noticed that the assignments to the variable "Result", are rendered in a bold font, and colored rust, unlike other assignments. In other words (something like):

[h: Result = if (Roll >= 18, Result + "<font color=red>CRITICAL HIT!</font>", Result)]
[h: macro.return = Result]

instead of:

[h: localResult = if (Roll >= 18, localResult + "<font color=red>CRITICAL HIT!</font>", localResult )]
[h: macro.return = localResult]

Why is this?

Result is a key word, used to only display the result of a roll. It is often abbreviated as "r".

Example:

[1 + 1]

displays "« 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »", but

[result: 1 + 1]

displays 2.

Thanks!

That makes me infer that "Result" is a poor choice as a variable identifier. Are there known issues with using key words as identifiers?

Yes, don't do it.

Got it!
TY!
