If you use safe_substitute and try to use a variable reference style other than ${foo}, you will find that it assumes ${foo} style. In particular, when evaluating $[foo] (square braces) and 'foo' is not defined, safe_substitute will put the string back together using ${foo} (curly braces).

See <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14573230/pythons-string-template-changes-brackets-when-variable-is-unset> for details and test case.
