That being the case, this works, but isn't strict enough, allowing 'nested' stuff like this hypothetical example:
$ x=M $ echo ${HO${x}E} /home/angus
The real shell won't allow this.
Just for curiosity: make will do it!
% cat Makefile x=M home=${HO${x}E} all: echo ${home}
% make echo /home/witt /home/witt
