Could you point me in the direction of modules that have the
psuedo-variable support that would be easy to emulate? The module I'll
need to modify is registrar. Specifically the lookup and save functions.

Also, is there a way in-script to take a custom header value and load it
into a pseudo-variable? And is there any documentation or example source
for this?
