I think this is awesome and very important. But I'd also prefer to
put it off until post-1.5. I'm concerned about introducing too many
more new things right now.
What if we make a new branch after your other change is checked in?
Then we can do 1.5 development on that branch -- bug fixes, whatever
final testing and prereleases we need, etc. On the trunk we'll add
new stuff. This is what I would prefer. How about you?
I haven't read this patch yet.
Does it work with $(var:foo=bar) ?
