Perhaps, but that's going to annoy the vast majority of people that use
${FILE} to mean something other than the file(1) application.  I tend
towards the view that there's so much prior art, and that saying:

.for FILE in ${LIST_OF_FILES}
...
.endfor

is so natural a construct that trying to make people do it differently
would be wildly unpopular.

	Cheers,
