What went in today is just the first part of what
is intended for 3.0. The full list of requirements can be found in the
document (for which the link automagically disappeared when my original
email was converted from HTML to plain text format).

If I remember our discussion correctly, you said that
we may be able to reuse variables framework from eclipse.debug.core. That
one uses Platform variables plugin. So I guess in any case we would end
up using Eclipse variables plugin. I am still not quite clear in what extent
we can reuse that debug framework. It seams that Preferences->Rin/Debug->String
substitution preference page is the place where new variables are defined.
We need to figure out a way how to use them for string substitution.
