Description

I'd like to propose an extension to the current syntax (and would consider submitting a PR for it if folks are in favor of the proposal)

There is currently support for: ${undefined.number:-1234567890}

I'm proposing adding: ${defined.number:?The number is ${defined.number}}

My quick glance of the recursive interpolation makes me feel this would be relatively straightforward.

 

Curious when the next version would be released (I asked because I could actually make use of this in something I'm working on right now)
