This is venturing a bit far afield, at least for this thread, but I'm
curious if anyone knows: does the recent work on supporting Elisp in
Guile mean that Elisp applications are eventually expected to be ported
to Scheme? And if so, what does that mean for Org development?

Right, yes, a variable with a string value. I guess my point is more
properly stated by saying there doesn't seem to be a way to evaluate an
atomic S-expression in a template. But this seems like a fair trade for
not having to write a second set of parentheses around every non-atomic
expression.

That's handy -- thanks!
