The new default token delimiters ([]) breaks TONS of old translations.
Let's add support for the previous % prefix convention by default, otherwise we are causing
tons of extra work for translators.

I've seen the work done to support multiple delimiters but I want to highlight the importance of the default setting.

This is in addition to the [] delimiter. And some modules require @.

There's no way this is critical, or a bug

Perhaps I am confused.

Token support many modules, and those modules should create the default for THEIR interaction with token. Which module used % as the default prior to switching to token?

This should be a bug against that module to continue using a % prefix in its implementation of token.

I assume this is a misunderstanding and no change on the part of token is necessary.
