on second thought, i think we could perhaps just go for the simpler
"%t", which would allow inserting the type anywhere, even in the middle
of a word... i think a problem here is that "word" or "symbol" (which is
what my suggestion used) constituent depend on the definition of what's
a word or symbol in the active mode.

although that would prevent fancy things like "%type: %t", but that's a
bit of a corner case, don't you think?

cheers,
jao
