title: Macro escape string
body: <p>I'm trying to print a line to the console which should print one macro variable and one piece of text with an ampersand in it. Let me illustrate this with a small example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>%LET THIS_IS_A_MACRO_VAR = test; 
  %PUT &amp;THIS_IS_A_MACRO_VAR..&amp;THIS_SHOULD_BE_TEXT;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When running this I would like the output to be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>test.&amp;THIS_SHOULD_BE_TEXT
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Coming from languages like PHP I expected there was something like an escape character. Unfortunately I could find anything similar.</p>
  
  <p>I tried using different placements of ' and " but that led to both variable being interpreted as macro variable or both variables not. Also a try using %NRQUOTE was without succes. Lastly, I tried concatenating two strings: <code>"&amp;THIS_IS_A_MACRO_VAR..&amp;" || "THIS_SHOULD_BE_TEXT"</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I hope someone knows how to do this.</p>
