Hi Oleksii,

I now commited some patches which implement basically the same
functionality as the second patch, but with a completely different
implementation. My version mirrors the existing specifier
implementation for loaded units and provides callback methods for
different specifiers which compute requested value when needed. I also
added more specifiers (%u, %U, %H, %m, %b, %N, %n). Please check that
the new version serves your usecase.

Regarding the first patch: I think that this could be a good
idea... But the description is scant, and I'm not sure if correctly
guess the intended scope. Could you provide a complete patch with
full rationale? One specific question is how this change is affected
by daemon-reload and daemon-reexec? Aren't the setting lost then?

(Btw., in the future, plese use git formatted patches
as separate mails, this makes applying them _much_ nicer.)

Thanks,
Zbyszek
