Perhaps, but that's going to annoy the vast majority of people that use
${FILE} to mean something other than the file(1) application.  I tend
towards the view that there's so much prior art, and that saying:

=2Efor FILE in ${LIST_OF_FILES}
=2E..
=2Eendfor

is so natural a construct that trying to make people do it differently
would be wildly unpopular.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
