Yes. I'm thinking that with [] for formatting specifiers and () for
placeholders, {} would be available for nesting. E.g:
%[lpad=30,mangle]{%(subject) %ad%}

Agreed.
I'm planning to work on the initial "trailer:key=" part later this
week. Maybe I can play around with different formatting options and see
how it affects the parser.
