Well, it can't be a standard "markup expression" as in {(...)}, because 
those are evaluated before any (:if:) directives.  The same goes
for standard page variables.  It has to be a specialized form of 
markup.

And I'm not merely looking for "Will it work?"; I'm also looking
for "Is it relatively straightforward to understand and explain
what is happening?"
