This is second version of $glue snippet, [ string $+ &bvars ]

//bset -t &world 1 world | echo -a $bvar($ircdnumeric(hello,$chr(32),&world),1-)
returns: 104 101 108 108 111 32 32 32 119 111 114 108 100

104 101 108 108 111 - string 'hello'
32 - separator
32 - $chr(32)
32 - separator
119 111 114 108 100 - binary variable '&world'

• $lf as separator
• multispace
• new while

I use this for my IRCd on mIRC :)
