with texcommands a variable that holds a string of = TeX commands doesn=E2=80=99t work. The METAPOST parser complains about = not finding etex.

Minimum = example of my vardef that fails (the outcommented alternative to the = scantokens line works and typesets =E2=80=9C{Hello}, = [World]!=E2=80=9D):
