I don't really care which of the two styles are used, so long as it
allows for easy function composition. I can easily imagine wanting
something like:

  {(substring 1 4)(toupper)Group.PageName$:var}

or

  {substring(1 4)toupper()Group.PageName$:var}

Personally though, I think the first version looks better.
