Hmmm... for %post -p <lang> they certainly most of the time expect
"new interpreter, every time" while for %{<lang>:...} this usually can
hurt very much (as one has no variables at hand). But I see situations
where it can be exactly vice versa: if one wants to share details
between %build and %install one needs a "shared interpreter" and even
for %{<lang>:...} sometimes it can be useful to get a fresh "new
interpreter". So, hmmmm... yes, I would say: you SHOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO
CHOOSE THE MODE (with an option?), in both situations.
