According to the ChangeLog, it was added on January 12th, 2006, so it 
was in 1.5.12 (which only came out July 14th, 2006).

There are some restrictions on the user defined variables. They all 
are required to begin with "my_", so you can do something like:

    set my_foo='some string'

But not:

    set newvariable='some string'
