Yeah, I'd rather not pile up more hacks. The for-each-ref placeholders
are more verbose, but I think the end result is a lot easier to read and
maintain, and the terseness doesn't matter if you're sticking it behind
an alias or config option.
(Don't get me wrong; I think the %(if) ones are pretty ugly, too, but
the next step beyond that is embedding some kind of templating or
scripting language, and that just seems like overkill).
