My thoughts ...

The line would have been parsed.

The right side of the equation is evaluted to get a value and value type (string, double, etc)

Then the Left side evaluted and the proper variable created.

In my mind the setoption would have been completed before the $Explicit variable was created. Obviously I was wrong.
