I am -0.9 on the opt-in with expr= syntax.

Almost all the directives with expression support simply support expressions. 
Except for the one or two that don’t, which forces our end users to either know 
or constantly check the manual to work out which is which. We can’t even 
cleanly detect a possible error - if the person puts in an expression by 
accident where an expr= is needed there is no way the server can detect that. 
This is really nasty.

If we want opt-in expression support we need some kind of Expression +Foo 
statement to control this.

Graham
