Well, I don't know about "in a template".  My intent has always
been that {(...)} would be rendering markup, not something
substituted in a template.

And I much prefer the strftime date syntax to PHP's date syntax --
strftime is more standard, and it's much easier to write things like:

    {(date fmt="Today is %Y-%m-%d")}

than to write

    {(date fmt="\T\o\d\a\y\ \i\s Y-m-d")}
