Hi all,

I'm trying to substitute parts of a string, and thought this might be a
good use of a grammar. Sadly, grammars aren't my strong suit, so I
thought I'd ask the wider community for help. Maybe you guys know an
even better solution than using a grammar here.

So, consider a string, "Here be a $(placeholder), for $(purpose)
purposes.". I want to be able to put that into a sub, along with some
Pairs, and get a string with the placeholders replaced back.

    my Str $input = "Here be a $(placeholder), for $(purpose) purposes.";
    my Str $output = format-string(
        $input,
        placeholder => "placeholder",
        purpose => "testing",
    );

    dd $output; # "Here be a placeholder, for testing purposes."

The `format-string` sub would call the grammar and apply the actual
substitution, and that's where I need your help. I am not quite sure
how I would implement the grammar (and presumably it's actions) to do
what I want.

Thanks in advance for your help!
