TypoScript can't handle real variables.
$whatever is reserved for constants, that must be defined in the constants
section, but there you won't have stdWrap and getText available to do
something like "leveltitle".

But this isn't necessary anyway, since the easy solution is:

lib.HeadLine = TEXT
lib.HeadLine.dataWrap = {leveltitle: -2} - {page:title}
