Variable: invalid state

[missinglink]

It's possible for a Variable to enter an invalid state:

var v = new Variable();
// v.$ == '' (empty string)

var data = v.get()
// data == '' (empty string)

var v.set( data )
// throws

It should be possible to export a Variable and then import it again?

The same issue happens if v.set() throws as it leaves v.$ == ''
