& v()
 
  Syntax: v(<string>)
 
  This function can be used as an alternative for percent (%) 
  substitution and also as a replacement for get(me/<arg>). If the 
  argument is two characters long or longer and starts with a letter, 
  then the object performing the v() call (and its parent, if 
  necessary) is searched for the named attribute, and its value is 
  returned if possible. Otherwise, a percent substitution is performed 
  on the argument (so that v(o) is equivalent to %o, for instance). 
  
  The percent form (%o in the previous example) is preferred as it is 
  faster.
	
	Note: Attributes with single-character names cannot be retrieved 
	with v().
