I agree with this paragraph.

1. I think that the current placeholder can be confusing (quote vs
double-quote).

2. The envisioned future feature with Gash is not clear for me.  So  I
do not know what would be better.

3. I do not have a strong opinion and I can live with whatever choice
-- although I would live better if there is no confusion. ;-)

I propose {LINE} as placeholder because in case of #2 it would easy to
support both {LINE} and ${LINE} then reducing some backward
compatibilities issue.

WDYT?

Cheers,
simon
