I repurposed a feature that didn't seem to have any useful purpose. Braces have normally been used to insert the value of variables into strings. When the string between the braces included spaces, these would be converted to periods. I think my intention was to turn space separated strings into multi-dimensional array variables, but in tests, this did not work. So, I replaced the implode function used to turn the array of words into a single string with a period between each word with the function used to evaluated a GAME Code expression. The result is that a GAME Code expression can now be placed between braces in any command, and the result of that expression can be used as an argument to a command or inserted into a string. Note that expressions between braces will be evaluated immediately when the line is executed. So, they should not be used in function definitions unless the intent is to programmatically create a function. In my preliminary tests, I haven't noticed this causing any problems. I will do more tests later.
