@adrian-prantl pointed out that another hurdle with this would be how to handle non-C++ languages with these fine-grained variables. We could make these variables C++ specific? (e.g., call them `${function.cxx-basename}`. Then language plugins themselves would handle them (like we do `FunctionNameWithArgs` already). We'll also need a mechanism to say "fall back to `${function.name-with-args}` if one of these variables can't be handled by the language" (which I don't think is possible at the moment).
