> It would be really handy of StrSubstitutor could support nested variable 
> interpolation:
> org.osgi.framework.system.packages=org.osgi.framework; version=1.4.0, \
> org.osgi.service.packageadmin; version=1.2.0, \
> org.osgi.service.startlevel; version=1.1.0, \
> org.osgi.service.url; version=1.0.0, \
> org.osgi.util.tracker; version=1.3.3 \
> ${jre-${java.specification.version}}
> The process being to expand innermost variable references first and work 
> outwards - this allows for very advance config, such as the above, which can 
> dynamically detect the Java version and expand a JRE version specific 
> property into the property being defined.
> Looking at the implementation, it seems it might be a fairly straightforward 
> enhancement to:
>     private int substitute(StrBuilder buf, int offset, int length, List 
> priorVariables)
> The code already has the cyclic map in place. 
> I already have code that achieves this within Apache Felix, so I will see if 
> I can retro-fit a similar model to the above and if so submit  a patch.
