This is the `DocTree` equivalent of similar code in `Content`, to format
structured objects into a format string. Previously, using `MessageFormat`, the
code used "regular" text to inject the name of the property. Now, using this
new code, we can inject the equivalent of `{@code _name_ }`.
Yes, it is currently a bit more general than strictly required, in that
currently we only require a single value to be injected. I guess I was just
following the pattern of supporting future use.
