If I don't know the key beforehand, like if I read it from a file or the like, this becomes a security issue. That is my concern, `assoc_expand_once' doesn't help in that situation.

If you're taking input that you haven't verified and putting it into an
expansion context, I recommend you reconsider.

You can also use the key-value pair assignment syntax, which doesn't
require scanning for a close brace.
