The whole substitutions issue needs to be revisted at some stage.  In
particular, we need an 'authenticated user' %u that refers to the
current vuid - this would make much more sence than it being based on
the user being forced on the tid.   But I think we have run out of
sensible letters :-(

In any case, the backend for all this is certainly available for the
Auth subsystem.
