Good point. My worry here is that it does look awkward from the first persona 
that I use to validate syntax choices against (someone who sees FTL for the 
first time and has to read it).

`style: "short"` seems the natural choice unless we're ok with limiting to 
single words in which case `style: short` could also work.

I think I like "short" here tbh, but we can also just run a small study on 
localizers and see how they react.

Additional rationale for introducing some sort of SimpleText node that doesn't 
have placeholders is that it could allow for fastpaths in both parser and 
resolver and would avoid a PITA for GUI tool authors.

Cheers,
zb.
