* Bug: `org-capture-templates' file+headline target does not accept string variable [8.2.10 (8.2.10-elpa @ c:/Users/louis/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20141013/)]

Having a template inside `org-capture-templates`, which uses the
file+headline target, with a string variable as its third argument (the
node headline), makes the command `org-capture` fail (specifically, when
selecting this particular template that uses this target).
The heading I have chosen, "Tasks", does exist within the file selected
within the template. When I use a variable that contains the string
"Tasks", the command fails. However, when I use the literal string
"Tasks" instead, the command succeeds and works fine.

Nothing, in the manual or in `org-capture-templates' docstring, pretends
that variables are supported there. You are expected to provide
a string. I don't see any bug here.
