You can use: VAR=$(!!) to accomplish something similar. Not by default of course. It re-runs the command, so if not idempotent/etc it will not return expected results. Also when re-run, the command will not be in a tty context, so if the executable is sensitive to such things (e.g. `ls`), the output format might be different.
