Set does not work in velocity

Looks like set does not work in velocity when written as below :

#set (${modifier} = "some")

It works if I do #set ($modifier = "some"). Any reason for this?

EDIT : It doesn't work means no variable is set.

It is because ${varname} is not a valid variablename in velocity as defined in the reference manual

I am also often confused on these seemingly random syntax changes.
