I do not agree with your view that braces should always be used around 
variable names. While I would like to read any justification about that, 
my opinion is that they should only be used when necessary.

For example, in a PKGBUILD I would write ${pkgname}_$pkgver, because _ 
can be part of a variable name, but I'd much rather prefer to use 
$pkgname-$pkgver, since hyphens are not allowed in variable names.

Less typing, less ugliness. :)
