DummyDevice - absolute vs relative addressing (enhancement proposal)

[jgrad]

Hi,

I am heavily using rules in my ESPeasy implementations.
What bothers me is that when I am setting value of dummy device I have to use absolute addressing of variable (TaskvalueSet, <task_num>, variable_num>, <variable_value>) and in order to keep readability of code I add comment beside what "TASK_NAME#VARIABLE_NAME" I am setting.

That why I am asking if it is possible that for setting dummy device relative addressing (addressing by name) is implemented as it is when I am reading dummy device value eg. if [TASK_NAME#VARIABLE_NAME]>0 ...

It would be fine to have command like TaskvalueSet, [TASK_NAME#VARIABLE_NAME], <variable_value>.

Thanks for answer in advance.
