I was wrong. I analysed a few million lines of perl code: {{...}} is
not that uncommon. However, {= ... =} is extremely uncommon. So unless
there are heavy reason not to, then {= ... =} will be the magic
braces.

I do not see a way for a --option to take 2 values. But it will be
reasonable to split on the first space. So it will have to be
something like:
parallel --rpl '{+} {= $_+=10 =}' -n2 echo {1+} {2+} ::: 10 20
parallel --rpl '{..} {= s/(\.[^.]+){2}$// =}' echo {..} :::
dir/file.ext1.ext2
