Well, I actually do this for a few variables -- predating the $my_xyz
feature. I should switch where I can though, so I can drop the setenv
patch. (Lets me stuff things into the environment from inside mutt.)

You also can do this in ~/.muttrc:
source "~/.mutt/muttrc.py|"
and generate your "real" muttrc programmatically: another way to do
things like macros/variables and search paths, and you also get to
automatically define hooks, lists, etc. based on the contents of your
filesystem. But once again this only executes at startup -- it doesn't
update itself continuously.
If you're ambitious enough you could set mutt up to reload much of its
configuration every time you change folders, or something. But I'm
not sure how useful this really is for most people. :)
