Not only that. I think I need to clarify my intentions. I am not looking
to accept something that *only* adds an ability to refer to variable in
capture templates. What I would find a useful addition is something more
featureful. That's why I am bringing up doct and suggesting the new
feature (if implemented) to include some of the doct functionality *in
addition to variable expansion*.

Agree.
