Range replicator in stimulus group can't use variables in parameters

#96

Attempts to load the attached experiment fail during experiment packaging (i.e. on the client side), because the range replicator's "to" parameter references an experiment-defined variable.

It makes sense that the replicator must be evaluated during packaging, since each iteration of the replicator can produce a stimulus with a different "path" attribute, whose target will need to be copied to the server. However, it'd also be nice to use variables in the parameters. This is a situation where parse-time constants might provide a workaround.

    Simple workaround: Add a resource to the experiment, which will cause client-side parsing of the XML (and evaluation of the range replicator) to be skipped.
