Thinking about this some more, I think it's time to add a simple macro 
system for configuration files.  The internals have been streamlined 
enough by now that it should be relatively easy to do -- there has been 
a *lot* of work behind the scenes which isn't user visible.

The main question is what syntax to use that isn't likely to step on 
something else.  I think my current inclination is to use the Unix-like 
${...} with the braces mandatory to reduce the likelihood of conflict.

Opinions, anyone?
