Yes, I think this is where we differ.  $thing in it's most common  
form is more readable to me than {thing}, and while the former is  
equivalent to ${thing} with string.Template's defaults, I find it's  
very rarely used.  So I wouldn't be in favor of changing it.  Of  
course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that...
