You are not getting my point here. What I'm trying to say is: if you
are going to add such code to make it easier to get/set the variable
option value then you better add it to every other widget that
supports a variable option, or a textvariable (*variable in general).
This would make things uniform, you would never need to create a
Variable instance yourself. What I would really hate to see is a
widget that acts like a Variable was created for me, so I can
access/set its value, and others that have the same option but doesn't
allow me that.
And, finally, being explicit is not a bad thing.

Radiobutton for example ?
