SET_VARIABLE allows only for int, float, string, bool, other variable

Need to fix this we should be able, thanks to how godot is coded,
easy be able to suport any variable type that GDScript supports.

Our discord discussion stooped on this:

I was thinking that we just update SET_VARIABLE regex to just "(?<lvar_name>{VARIABLE}) = ((?.+)"
And use str_to_var() then var_to_bytes()
But I see that for example there can be problem if some one will try something like Object.new()in rkscript - for that we would need to run somehow gdsript code - I don't have idea how yet. Or maybe there is something different I don't see here ?

this only way I find to execute gdscipt code from string:

@theludovyc I also just realize that our SET_VARIABLE is almost just DEFINE_VARIABLE,
in script is only possible to do x = 2 and x = 3, but can't do x = 2 + 1 or x += 1 or logic in it x = a or b - this is bad!
It means that now for base math and logic user need to add custom regex and it shouldn't be this way.
I just have idea how to handle it, but I need to test it first.

We can think about this for later version. You can make an issue 😊

we will need to convert Rakugo variables to GDScript variables before executing this code.
I just have idea how to handle gdscript code, but I will post code of here it later.

Okay. I have just one question I cannot answer now, it is : if we convert them to gdscript variable how can we access them ?

I made new issue #237 for it @theludovyc
