Cannot add both default value and description to variables created in multiline statements (but parameters work).

[TorkelE]

Simple MWE:

using ModelingToolkit

@parameters begin
    p = 1.0, [description="A parameter."]
end # Works
@variables t X(t) = 1.0 [description="A variable."] # Works
@variables begin
    t
    X(t) = 1.0, [description="A variable."]
end # ERROR: syntax: misplaced assignment statement in "[description = "A variable."]" around

Vanilla @variables doesn't support that; I'll see how that can be added. But note that inside the @mtkmodel, such a thing just works.

Sounds good. There are quite a few situations where one uses this outside of @mtkmodel. Especially if you have a lot statements like this, things become unreadable without begin ... end blocks. This is not very urgent, but definitely something it would be good to fix sooner rather than later.
