No, although the obvious reason
is the -foreach- syntax downstream.
ds a b c, not
foreach var in `r(varlist)' {
...
}
You could go
foreach var of var `r(varlist)' {
but I can't see any advantage in that.
Signalling -var- ensures that an
abbreviated varlist is unabbreviated,
but -ds- does that for you.
-ds- remains documented on-line in Stata 9.
