Is there script or a flag I need to tweak to make this work? All the documentation I've found implies that it should just work as long as the most recent versions of Twine and Sugarcube are active, but for me it doesn't. Variables act as they always have; naked variables in the text do nothing and I still need a <<print>> macro to display their values.
Some things I've tried:
1. Making a new story
2. Reinstalling Twine and Sugarcube
3. Trying Sugarcube 2
This feature would be really nice to have, if I could get it to work.

The top shows up as $name but the bottom actually prints John. The same would be true if the variable were a number.
Case in point, your example works exactly as it should for me (i.e. both print John) in both SugarCube 2.x and 1.x.
