<!--#var _[somevarwhichjusthappenstoequalM23] fmt="structured-text"-->

Untested, YMMV
It may need to be 
<!--#var "_[somevarwhichjusthappenstoequalM23]" fmt="structured-text"-->

and of course, it could be more complex
<!--#var _[thisvar + thatvar + 'sometext'] fmt="structured-text"-->

Hope this helps... and hope I understood what you are asking!
