OK, I was just trying to differentiate from the original.
I have started using it in code, so I will just have to watch
for that commit and change those references.

I still prefer using the ('%X', '%Y') argument style though.
Since users have to change their code around anyway, it seems
safe to make it more explicit what they are doing.  I suppose
you could still support \\'XY' given ref-ref-scalar's are
unlikely to be used as regular arguments.
