Yes, that the other syntax (or something similiar, I haven't made the final
decision) I like to support in the next release, for the reason you already
mentioned above.

Another possibility would be fixing the old and new syntax:
<%+ $ref->[$row]{$fieldvar} +%>[# EXAMPLE TEXT #]
this is a little bit short and (maybe) easier to read (but has at least four
characters ([##])

What purpose should such an ID serve?

Yes, I agree
