No, even If I assign a variable with just integer, not a list. It is not
reading it as a integer

>Main< (pavan) 97 % set a 1
1
>Main< (pavan) 98 % set b 0
0
>Main< (pavan) 99 % set c 5
5
>Main< (pavan) 100 % measure angle $a $b $c
 measure angle: must specify exactly three atoms in a list
>Main< (pavan) 101 % measure angle { $a $b $c }
expected integer but got "$a" measure angle: bad atom index
>Main< (pavan) 102 %

But this only works
>Main< (pavan) 102 % measure angle {1 0 5}
120.00004577636719
