In things where you're specifying a string. Like, for instance,
save-hooks...
You can also embed them in pretty much anywhere, and as long as the
evaluated result makes sense for Mutt in the parsing context, it'll
be used just like you'd expect. You could have a folder-hook where
the Mutt-command-to-execute is created on-the-fly with a ``-style
command. (But there isn't any way to pass the current folder name
as a parameter for the ``-command, unfortunately..) You just need
to be careful with quoting to get the command execute at folder-hook
execution and *not* when the .muttrc is loaded.
