Dynamic Constants Provider
==========================
{{#include ../links.md}}
```admonish info "Usage scenario"
* A system has a _large_ number of constants, but only a minor set will be used by any script.
* The system constants are expensive to load.
* The system constants set is too massive to push into a custom [`Scope`].
* The values of system constants are volatile and call-dependent.
```
```admonish abstract "Key concepts"
* Use a [variable resolver] to intercept variable access.
* Only load a variable when it is being used.
* Perform a lookup based on variable name, and provide the correct data value.
* May even perform back-end network access or look up the latest value from a database.
```
Implementation
--------------
```rust
let mut engine = Engine::new();
// Create shared data provider.
// Assume that SystemValuesProvider::get(&str) -> Option<value> gets a value.
let provider = Arc::new(SystemValuesProvider::new());
// Clone the shared provider
let db = provider.clone();
// Register a variable resolver.
// Move the shared provider into the closure.
engine.on_var(move |name, _, _| Ok(db.get(name).map(Dynamic::from)));
```
```admonish note.small "Values are constants"
All values provided by a [variable resolver] are _[constants]_ due to their dynamic nature.
They cannot be assigned to.
In order to change values in an external system, register a dedicated API for that purpose.
```
