template replacement

[Patrick Venture]

I've run into an issue and before I submitted a patch to solve my
specific problem, I wanted to get a sense of what was intended:

I have a field "name" that I want to set dynamically to "$bus_v2345_0_local"
It finds the $bus match but then fails on the split.
If I add a " " it then fails as well.

It seems to be that if a template is at the end of the field, it works
fine, otherwise it assumes there must be some operation to perform.

Did you already have a fix in mind?
