2026-10-05, Lilleman auf Larv. Serves goal 7.2. The maintainer reads "no escaping" as: a
template can be written with no special character other than `{` and `}`. A literal brace
written `{{` or `}}` therefore meets the goal. Valid while `{` and `}` are the only
characters with a meaning outside a `{…}` token.
2026-10-05, Lilleman auf Larv. Serves goal 7.2. A goal is an aim, not a promise: it is enough
that a first template can be written with no escape and no options, as `{first} {last}` is. A
template that wants a literal brace writes `{{` or `}}`, and that does not work against the
goal. Valid while a template needs an escape only to print a brace.
