This is one of those cases where purity interferes with practicality.
It's only three one-letter variables to learn, and they're widely used
all over templates so they'll seem like just part of the syntax. And
if you only have a 79-character line and you want to put the entire
expression or tag on one line, it gets difficult when the boilerplate
code extends to nine characters; that's over a tenth of the space just
for one of them.

Since HTML is all about hyperlinks, it makes sense to give them
special treatment, especially if you're trying to encourage people to
always use URL generation rather than literal URLs for internal links,
as Pylons does.
