'expand' isn't bad. On the one hand, I really would like the ability
to do automatic locals() and globals() lookup, but on the other hand,
I'm not personally so much hung up on the amount of typing as I am on
the esthetics, so to me,
import string
string.expand('somestring')
would be equally as appealing as having a string expand method, and
would probably be more difficult for someone to do accidentally.
