TEXT does not seem to accept variables or variable functions

[Lewis Rosenthal]

It would be useful to allow TEXT to expand some variables or perform functions. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be possible.

Example:

TEXT
Please expand %full[%0].
ENDTEXT

results in %full[%0] being echoed to the command line and not expanded. All sane permutations (%%, quoting, etc.) result in literal output.

I'm not reporting this as a defect, because AFAICT, this is likely WAD.
