Exactly why documentation is important, since it codifies the
intent and not artefacts of implementation.

I only wish we had an implementation that left 's' for Python-like
%(key)s, and supported a Make-like $(key) without 's'. However, putting
it in post-Essex is going to break compatibility, so it's too late.
