Comment(by kfisher):

 I can see the utility of such a change, but I would want to ensure that
 the syntax stays very light for the forms that are currently supported.
 Ie, for my simple use, I want to be able to continue to use the syntax
   [pads| <pads-syntax> |]

 I don't want to have to use a $ before pads and I don't want to have a
 heavier-weight divider between the quoter and the quoted material.  I can
 imagine allowing the richer forms by supporting also the more verbose
 syntax

   [$quoter-expression $| quoted expression |]

 or something along those lines.
