The one thing to remember about doing that is that braces don't do
variable expansion, so in the case where the value of variable $pollID
is 2, {pollID $pollID} expands to a string "pollID $pollID", whereas
"pollID $pollID" expands to "pollID 2".  I noticed that in some cases
Phil was relying on variable expansion.
