Describe the bug
The illustration on page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/variables?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml%2Cbatch#understand-variable-syntax about recursive expansion of $() expressions doesn’t illustrate recursive expansion. The variables: section definition of myOuter could have expanded the expression already (like simply expanded variables in make) and it would have the same output as illustrated.

To illustrate recursive expansion properly, the example should change the value of myInner after myOuter is defined and show that the expansion of myOuter expands to the new value of myInner.
