Thanks for that. Of course, I can't really leave it at that ;-)
I'd vote to add it to 2.1. Keep the % syntax but also allow direct $ and
@. Possibly provide a mechanism that can be used by all modules through
the function parameter fixups.
As for the ending of an attribute or select expression, following Bourne
Shell syntax might be a good idea: It ends with a character not allowed
in an identifier or by explicitely enclosing in braces (${foo} or
@{foo}). This may make parsing the string somewhat more difficult, but
since it happens at startup only, who cares. Maybe use Bison.

OK, I know README still shows %{avp_name}.
I stopped believing what they say for 2.0.
Oh, and
isn't pretty much all of the stuff in xlog obsolete since we are
having selects for all of it now?
Yes... the idea was to allow using the $ and @ inside-string formating
whenever you can use string. Was not done in time as it is more complex,
and there is code-freeze now (for quite a long time) to let ser 2.0 get
out into the masses. So maybe 2.1, maybe 3.0 (as it will change the
ser.cfg's again).
