Is it not possible to tweak the reader so that only `normal' variables are
read, and it stops reading at the "}"? That would make the common case very
convenient, and anyone who really wanted to use a weirdly named variable in
that location could just use (progn WEIRD{}34) instead. I think since it's
clearly an odd situation (a lisp expression embedded in the middle an
otherwise uninterpreted string), users would probably find such a reader
`restriction' fairly natural.
