+Each expression expands to a quoted string, so that it's safe to pass it as an
+argument to an external command. So you should not manually add quotes around
+the curly braces. But if you don't want this behavior, you can put
+\fBr\fR flag (raw) in the expression (e.g. \fB{r}\fR, \fB{r1}\fR, etc).
+Use it with caution as unquoted output can lead to broken commands.

When using a field index expression, leading and trailing whitespace is stripped
from the replacement string. To preserve the whitespace, use the \fBs\fR flag.
