I'm of the same opinion as you.  I believe the person who filed the
bugzilla report thought it should be done by storing references to
objects in a hash table and using the variable names in the
expressions to index into the hash table.  I just don't see why that
would have to be a standard feature when the "java way" to do the
thing is to implement the Substitution interface or subclass
Perl5Substitution.

There are two things on my TODO list that I just haven't had the time to
do and probably won't for another week or two.  First, I want to call a
vote to get the 2.0.8 release out the door.  Second, we need more committers
so we can actually get stuff done, even if it's just voting.  Between Jon
and myself, we don't have enough active committers (Jon's active in that he
always votes, good soul that he is) to vote a new committer in.  I want to
bring this up with the PMC and make arrangements to vote Mark in as a
committer.  Mark's made significant code contributions as well as general
development discussion contributions and hasn't wandered off after all this
time.
