Tokens should normally be delimited from surrounding text (such as variable
names) by non-alphanumeric characters, otherwise they will not be
recognised.
The syntax of transformation functions ensures that this will normally be
so, but, when this is not possible, enclosing angle brackets `
...
'
may also be used as token delimiters.
In this case the brackets will be replaced as if they were part of the token
itself.
By this means, values may be substituted to form part of a variable name if
required.
