 * I would really like to be able to use one shortcode-variable within another. 
   For example:
 * [shortcode-variables slug=”announcedyear”] = “2019”
 * [shortcode-variables slug=”archivetocurrent”] = “The [shortcode-variables slug
   =”announcedyear”] version has been announced!”
 * Is this possible for a future version?

 * Hi Josh,
 * Yes that’s a good idea – I’m thinking of doing a small Pro version… I could add
   it to that…
