Absolutely.

The tricky thing is not the syntax, but how to describe variables,
though - that's the same problem with URI templates in general; the
consumer needs to understand what the variables are and how to fill
them. That's fine when there's already some out-of-band knowledge.

var-base is interesting; it probably would be good to create an example
using it...

Best regards, Julian
