Let's stop debating this point -- any acceptable solution will have to
support (more-or-less) arbitrary expressions. *If* we end up also
attempting to solve i18n, then it will be up to the i18n toolchain to
require a stricter syntax. (I imagine this could be done during the string
extraction phase.)
