Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new prefix-like command -tfv- is now
available from the SSC.

The command lets you specify transformations of variables in the line
of the obsolete -xi- prefix (superseded by factor variable notation).
For example

. tfv regress t(ln).price mpg

creates a new variable, ln_price, as the natural logarithm of price
and runs the -regress-ion of this new variable on mpg.

-tfv- is inspired by a wishlist for Stata 14 recently posted to
Statalist (http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2014-02/msg00697.html).

I am confident that StataCorp will make the command obsolete expanding
the existing factor variable notation soon. Until then, I hope some
will find it useful.

Best
Daniel
