After the 0.19 release I think we could maybe do this:
Replace {filename} with e.g. {GEANY_TEMPLATE_filename} and set a
document flag. When first saving the new file, if the flag is set,
replace {GEANY_TEMPLATE_filename} with the real filename.

I think that string is unlikely to occur in a file, and much less in an
unsaved document.
