Heheh, well, I'll reply anyway.
The single vs. double format for variables and transclusions is another
thing I've thought about for the plugin. Right now, formulas use the
WikiText syntax (double brackets) for transcluded and variable values, and
this helps with general consistency. Filter expressions inside formulas
still use the single-bracket syntax, as they do everywhere else.
I've considered allowing the shorter <single-bracket> style anywhere in
formulas, and there isn't much stopping me on a technical level, but I
worry that supporting two styles might create more confusion than it's
worth. Better to stay similar to WikiText, in my mind...
