Variables enhancements in FB3

We've made a lot of cool changes in FinalBuilder 3 with variables.

This particular enhancement makes it easier to edit expressions in the action properties dialog.

When you're editing any field in the action properties dialog, you can press Ctrl-Space to display a hint of what the expression evaluates to.  Also, when you type “%“ the hint shows automatically.

This next screen pic shows what happens if the expression is invalid:

And hitting F3 allows you to add a new FB variable without closing the action properties dialog :)

Nearly 2 years later, Delphi 10.3 Rio actually implements some of those features.
