Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly.

Ummm... okay, a variable variable is 'aac' in this example:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('aac','yyy')">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('varname','aa'+'c')">
<h2><dtml-var "_['aac']">
<h2><dtml-var "_[varname]">

So going back to my original example, it would look like this:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('varname','long_date_'+ENV_LANG_VAR)">
<dtml-var "_[varname]">


So you get rid of the whole 
<dtml-if><dtml-elif><dtml-elif>...<dtml-else>  chain. Everything in just 
two lines.

Not that I like self-modyfing code. But if it's short, it's not that bad.
