This is the hard part, though.  So long as the users decide whether to
use the interpolation features, it has to be treated as an API
compatibility issue.

The interpolation syntax is a feature of the language being parsed
more than a code-level feature.  It's actually a good thing logging is
using the ancient ConfigParser, since the interpolation handling is so
broken there's unlikely to be any affected uses of '%' in working
configurations.
