I would like to use something like this. However, using a recent git 
checkout of org mode and the following simple template from the original 
list message:

("u"
          "Test"
          entry
          (file+headline "~/test.org"
                         ,(format "%s %s"
                                  (format-time-string "%B")
                                  (format-time-string "%Y"))))
I get the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp (\, (format 
"%s %s" (format-time-string "%B") (format-time-string "%Y"))))
   regexp-quote((\, (format "%s %s" (format-time-string "%B") 
(format-time-string "%Y"))))
   org-capture-set-target-location()
   org-capture(nil)
   call-interactively(org-capture nil nil)

I also get the same error from John Hendy's template. Is this a bug in 
recent versions of org, or is there an error in the template lisp? I 
have tried doing a git bisect, but can only go back a few commits, as my 
config now includes  several things that have only recently been added 
to org.

Ian.
