New submission from Adam Kellas:
If you use safe_substitute and try to use a variable reference style other than
${foo}, you will find that it assumes ${foo} style. In particular, when
evaluating $[foo] (square braces) and 'foo' is not defined, safe_substitute
will put the string back together using ${foo} (curly braces).
See
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14573230/pythons-string-template-changes-brackets-when-variable-is-unset>
for details and test case.
