Returns list of all variables names and values.  
Container values or multiline texts will probably not be handled correctly for the result. So works best if you have just single line values.  
### Examples

Show variable names and values:

 Set Variable \[ $r ; Value: MBS ( "[Variable.Set](VariableSet.md)"; "test"; 123 ) \]   
Set Variable \[ $r ; Value: MBS ( "[Variable.Set](VariableSet.md)"; "Hello"; "World" ) \]   
Show Custom Dialog \[ "Variables" ; MBS ( "Variable.List" ) \]
