I believe the grammar is ambiguous. For example,
if I have the template:

   http://example.com/{name1,name2+}

And
   name1 := "fred"
   name2 := "barney"

Does that expand to:

   http://example.com/fred+barney

or

   http://example.com/fred&barney

There are also escaping issues. For example,
what if I want to emit ')' as part of a prefix?
I like the simplicity but I don't think we can
get away from using '|' as a separator w/o
increasing the complexity of the parser, as I
think the examples above show.
