Given the template, u'¿Puede volver $hoy o $mañana?', you think $ma is
an intended placeholder name and that ñ should be a delimiter just like
whitespace and punctuation?

If end users always follow the rules, this will never come up.  If they
don't, should there be error message or a silent failure?
