:let [{name}, ..., ; {lastname}] += {expr1}
:let [{name}, ..., ; {lastname}] -= {expr1}
Like above, but append/add/subtract the value for each
|List| item.

:let {var-name} =<< [trim] [eval] {endmarker}
text...
text...
{endmarker}
Set internal variable {var-name} to a |List|
containing the lines of text bounded by the string
{endmarker}.
If "eval" is not specified, then each line of text is
used as a |literal-string|, except that single quotes
does not need to be doubled.
If "eval" is specified, then any Vim expression in the
form {expr} is evaluated and the result replaces the
expression, like with |interpolated-string|.
Example where $HOME is expanded: >
let lines =<< trim eval END
some text
See the file {$HOME}/.vimrc
more text
END
< There can be multiple Vim expressions in a single line
but an expression cannot span multiple lines. If any
expression evaluation fails, then the assignment fails.
{endmarker} must not contain white space.
{endmarker} cannot start with a lower case character.
The last line should end only with the {endmarker}
string without any other character. Watch out for
white space after {endmarker}!
Without "trim" any white space characters in the lines
of text are preserved. If "trim" is specified before
{endmarker}, then indentation is stripped so you can
do: >
let text =<< trim END
if ok
echo 'done'
endif
END
< Results in: `["if ok", " echo 'done'", "endif"]`
The marker must line up with "let" and the indentation
of the first line is removed from all the text lines.
Specifically: all the leading indentation exactly
matching the leading indentation of the first
non-empty text line is stripped from the input lines.
All leading indentation exactly matching the leading
indentation before `let` is stripped from the line
containing {endmarker}. Note that the difference
between space and tab matters here.
If {var-name} didn't exist yet, it is created.
Cannot be followed by another command, but can be
followed by a comment.
To avoid line continuation to be applied, consider
adding 'C' to 'cpoptions': >
set cpo+=C
let var =<< END
\ leading backslash
END
set cpo-=C
<

let var1 =<< END

:let {var-name} .. List the value of variable {var-name}. Multiple
variable names may be given. Special names recognized
here: *E738*
g: global variables
b: local buffer variables
w: local window variables
t: local tab page variables
s: script-local variables
l: local function variables
v: Vim variables.
:let List the values of all variables. The type of the
variable is indicated before the value:
<nothing> String
# Number
* Funcref
:unl[et][!] {name} ... *:unlet* *:unl* *E108* *E795*
Remove the internal variable {name}. Several variable
names can be given, they are all removed. The name
may also be a |List| or |Dictionary| item.
With [!] no error message is given for non-existing
variables.
One or more items from a |List| can be removed: >
:unlet list[3] " remove fourth item
:unlet list[3:] " remove fourth item to last
< One item from a |Dictionary| can be removed at a time: >
:unlet dict['two']
:unlet dict.two
< This is especially useful to clean up used global
variables and script-local variables (these are not
deleted when the script ends). Function-local
variables are automatically deleted when the function
