It will also open the way to do all kinds of numeric etc magic, and
date substitutions, using the same standard as markup expression.
How about using this syntax:

    {$$(expr arg1 arg2)}

This goes along with the other replacement var syntax {$$var}

Fox is using in the form template this date syntax (example)

    {$$(date d.m.Y - H:i)}
    
at present for date/time stamping a post. But if general markup
expressions can be used when processing, then the date/time stamping
can be performed through the markup expression function.
