  Instead of a configuration like:

	foo_query = "hello %T"

  you use:

	foo_query = "hello %{rediswho:trim_count}"

  The first is specific to the rediswho module, and can't be used
*anywhere* else.

  The second is a little more awkward to read, but more generic.

  Or, you could do what the SQL module does:

	foo_query = "hello ${trim_count}"

  in which case "trim_count" is taken from the configuration when the
module loads.  The server core parses the string, and when the module
"init" routine is called, it sees:

	foo_query = "hello 5"

  Much better...
