What is a WIQL variable?

What is a WIQL variable?


In TFS 2013 there are variables you can use in the queries that link to some predetermined Microsoft value.  I always wondered what they were called.  Recently I was reading an excellent post regarding a workaround for the Current query dilemma.

This was the number one hit for it...
WIQL (Work Item Query Language) is the query language for Work Items that Test Management adopts for querying test objects. In Microsoft Test Manager (MTM), WIQL queries are hidden away from users and only the query results are displayed.

It gives a pretty good description.  It is from 2010 so there have probably been many updates to the language and variables available.  Unfortunately @Current still isn't one of them.
