How about something along the lines of %Q(%an) instead?  Though at least
implementation-wise, it should be possible to make %'%an%' work, too,
which would be rather cute.

It would be also less error prone from end user's point of view if
your closing token is not ")" (as in %Q(%an)) but percent-something,
e.g. %<%an%>, %`%an%', or %'%an%'.  The way to quote a string that
happens to be the same as closing token you want to put in the
quoted string would be more obvious (e.g. ID=%Q(%ae (%an%29) is a
bit hard to read for ID='gitster@pobox.com (J C H)').

	ID=%'%ae (%an)%'

As I do not expect these things to nest (do we want to be able to
formulate a string that can be eval'ed twice???), using the same
string for both opening and closing token is fine by me.
