Which shows an ambiguity in the syntax:

'%c{1}' is taken to mean the first word returned from a program. It
could also be taken for the complete string returned from a program,
followed by a literal '{1}'. If I want the second alternative, how do
I write that?

A more regular syntax would be (for example):

%c     whole string returned from program
%3c    third word returned from program

Anything after the c is taken literally (except for another %-escape).
