Description
In 5.6 you'd do something like:
TEXT (area is [area])
and with the expression changes in RFC 64 this becomes:
TEXT ("area is" + [area])
For complicated uses this can be onerous. I propose adding attribute binding (e.g. straight substitution) for a string expression, e.g.:
TEXT "area is [area]"
This will make upgrading to 6.0 easier for folks. We'll still reserve the () syntax for true text expressions.
