It looks like it never varied, I think that perhaps varying it could
have been in anticipation of the
macro_expand_once, for storing partial expansion tables in the baton
perhaps, it looks like
all the other unimplemented commands at the time of initial commit
have been implemented without it
(though I didn't do an exhaustive look) anyhow that is just a guess *shrug*.
